Summary
A Safe Haven Baby Box in Ennis, Texas, made history with its first use, offering a compassionate, anonymous way for parents to surrender a healthy newborn — with the baby now safely on its way to a forever family. Since launching in 2015, the program has expanded to 447 boxes nationwide, including 21 in Texas, and has helped 79 babies. The founder called the parents’ decision heroic, stressing that help is available. Texas’s Baby Moses law enables safe surrender up to 60 days old at locations like fire stations. Local officials praised the box’s successful deployment and urged awareness, hoping to empower families in crisis with life-affirming choices and support.
