It is legal to find a responsible adult and hand them the baby. (Do not leave the baby someplace hoping someone will find it!) The person may be a health care provider, law enforcement officer, social services worker, or emergency medical personnel, or it may be anyone who appears to be responsible. The baby will then be placed in a loving home. An infant up to 7 days old may be surrendered to any responsible adult. Safe surrender is anonymous and legal. Advice for pregnant and new mothers is available at FOR-BABY ( ). In an emergency, call 911.
