A Secret Safe Place for Newborns of Tennessee, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, supports and assists facilities where mothers can safely and anonymously surrender their babies. Scared and desperate teens and women who are hiding a pregnancy must know that there is a better option than abandoning their babies. The goal of a Secret Safe Place is to prevent newborn abandonment through education and public awareness surrounding the Safe Haven Law. The Safe Haven Law, enacted on July 1, 2001 and amended in 2009, allows mothers of newborns to surrender unharmed babies to staff at designated facilities within 72 hours of birth without fear of being prosecuted. As long as the baby is unharmed and the mother acts within 72 hours of birth, she will not be prosecuted and is assured of complete confidentiality. Her baby and her secret will be safe. To find out more or get involved, visit Us on our site or social media platforms and partner with us in the fight to prevent newborn abandonment. We look forward to hearing from you !
