Illinois Provides a Safe & Legal Option to Unsafe Infant Abandonment
"No Shame - No Blame - No Names "

You’re afraid. You don’t want to keep this baby. You just want someone to take it, keep it safe, and make sure it gets a good home.

Don’t panic. There are people who will help you with NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Illinois offers a safe option for a desperate parent in crisis. By handing your unharmed baby, seven days old or younger, to personnel at any hospital, emergency medical facility, staffed fire station, or police station, you can walk away with no questions asked.

The baby will be cared for and placed in a loving home for adoption.

No attempts whatsoever will be made to contact you. No crime will have been committed. This is a TRULY safe process.

This law was written to provide a safe alternative to abandonment for Illinois parents who feel they cannot cope with a newborn baby. It offers safe havens for newborns, and is:

Private – No one will ask your name.
Legal – you will not be breaking any laws.
Safe – your baby will be given medical care and placed in a good home.
Supportive – you will be offered medical care and counseling.

The Troy Police Department is staffed 24 hours to answer questions or be on hand for parents to relinquish their baby. We are located in the Troy Municipal Building at 116 E. Market Street, Troy, Illinois.

NO SHAME – NO BLAME – NO NAMES

Give your baby a chance.

Call 888-510-BABY (2229) if you need help NOW.
