Safe Haven For Newborns

If you have hidden your pregnancy and are afraid - Newborn babies up to three days old can be brought to a hospital, law enforcement agency, or firehouse. If your baby is not older than three days and unharmed, you will not be prosecuted for abandonment.

Children Services will take temporary custody, and place your baby for adoption.

However, if you are pregnant and afraid, we can assist you and inform you of options and services available for you and your unborn child. Information is available by calling 740-474-3105, extension 437. We don't want you in a crisis when it is time for your baby to be born. Click on FORM to view our brochure.
