In California, the Safely Surrendered Baby Law
allows an individual to safely give up an
unwanted infant with no fear of arrest or
prosecution for abandonment as long as the baby
has not been abused or neglected. The law does
not require that names be given when the baby
is surrendered. Parents are permitted to bring a
baby within 3 days of birth to any designated
hospital staff or designated fire station in the
County of Los Angeles. The baby will be
placed in a pre-adoptive home while the adoption
process gets underway. |
