It’s Legal. It’s Safe. It’s Anonymous. Safe Haven is a law designed to protect babies. What is Safe Haven? In Arkansas, the Safe Haven law allows a parent to give up a newborn anonymously. The purpose of Safe Haven is to prevent babies from being hurt or killed by unsafe abandonment. Unsafely abandoning a baby puts the newborn in extreme danger that can result in the baby’s death. It also is illegal, with severe consequences.

There is an option. Don’t abandon your baby. 1-888-510-BABY 2229 www.arkansassafehaven.org
