Okay, so I'm going to try to assume that you weren't trying to say what it sounds like you're saying...HOWEVER your story implies that is Safe Haven laws didn't exist, I and other Safe Haven Birthmothers would have killed thier children. I am really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one, but associating Safe Haven with women that kill thier children is VERY offensive and is just a stereotype. YES some women have done this, but to imply that those of us that use Safe Haven would have taken our childs life if S.H. wasn't an option is BEYOND hurtful.

This is ANOTHER birthparent stereotype that needs to be dealt with, and perpetuating it is unacceptable to me.
