Safe Haven

Illinois law states that as long as you don't harm your baby, you can hand your newborn (30 days or younger) to personnel at any hospital, police station or staffed fire station in Illinois for adoption with no questions asked.

No one will ask your name. Your baby will get medical care and be adopted into a loving family. You can even provide anonymous medical information, so your baby will grow up with a medical history.
