The Massachusetts Safe Haven law is an interesting law I did not know about. It allows a parent to leave a newborn baby at a fire station, police station, or hospital for foster care without fear of abandonment charges.

I’m not sure how I feel about it, as a matter of public policy. I guess it’s better to give parents choices besides straight up abandonment/murder.

I wonder what happens if one parent gives up the child, but the other parent doesn’t know about it. Baby donations are allowed to be anonymous.
