A baby who was surrendered to a “Safe Haven Baby Box” in Knoxville, Tennessee, “has been placed with his forever family,” Safe Haven Baby Box founder Monica Kelsey told a local news outlet.
“That baby is healthy and it’s going to live a beautiful life with an adoptive family,” Kelsey said.
The baby boy was surrendered to the Baby Box approximately 30 minutes after his birth at Knoxville Fire Station 17 just after midnight on May 27.
“For this parent to utilize this box, 99 days after this box went into service, I think speaks volumes about the box being in the right place at the right time and Knoxville definitely needing this last resort option,” Kelsey continued.
From Breitbart:
The baby is one of ten surrendered to Safe Haven Baby Boxes across the United States this year, surpassing eight Baby Box surrenders in 2022, according to the report. “We’re only halfway through the year,” Kelsey said. “But, we also have you more baby boxes out there and multiple states so they’re more available in different places in the country.”
