Baldwin County's first Safe Haven baby box blessed in Daphne
DAPHNE, Ala., (WKRG) — On the corner of the newest fire station in Daphne, a first for Baldwin County. A Safe Haven Baby Box. Hundreds run across iconic Mobile bridge to help Africatown 'You would simply walk up to the box, you open that door, you place the baby in the medical grade safe bassinet, close the door and walk away,' said Caitlin Kelly with Safe Haven Baby Boxes. She calls the boxes an extension of the Safe Haven law, a law that allows the surrender of infants up to 45 days old in Alabama. An option that wouldn't be possible without Alabama State Representative Donna Givens. 'My heart was touched. I knew I had to do it for the state of Alabama,' Givens said. The Daphne location is the 18th baby box in Alabama. More are planned, including at fire stations in Foley and in Spanish Fort. The goal is to save lives with no name, no shame and no blame, according to Kelly. 'The bravest and hardest decision. As a mother, I cannot understand it. As an adoptive mother, I am so grateful for it.' The box has three alarms; once the door is opened, first responders are notified within seconds. 'If someone chooses to use this box, we will see to it that that baby gets to their next phase and there's hope,' said Daphne Fire Chief LeAnn Tacon. So far this year, more than 60 infants have been surrendered across the nation. Son kills mother before being killed by brother: Mobile police Kelly says it is not a matter of 'if' the newest baby box will be used, but when. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
