What is ‘Safe Delivery’ or ‘Safe Haven’ adoption?
Every U.S. state has a ‘safe delivery’ or ‘safe haven’ law, which aims to prevent unsafe child abandonment. In Michigan, a newborn baby’s parent can safely, legally, and confidentially surrender the baby at a hospital, fire department, police station, or by calling 9-1-1. A licensed Michigan adoption agency is contacted, and the agency places the baby directly into the care of an adoptive family. There is an approved list of Michigan Adoption Agencies and Adoption Partners of Michigan is uniquely skilled and experienced in handling these cases.
