I understand that might not have been the intention Leigh, which is why I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to Mom2grlc. However, it's a connection that is often made by individuals and the media, that if Safe Haven didn't occur, those that currently use Safe Haven would have taken the lives of thier children, so I just wanted to give her the opportunity to clarify if she chose.

I guess part of the problem with saying that Safe Haven is for those Mothers, is that babies are still being found in tragic situations, in dumpsters, etc. by women that are not using the Safe Haven laws available to them.

The anonymity of Safe Haven is what appealed to me. I think it would be great if that anonymity would go over to hospitals and allowing Mothers a place to anonymously give birth. At the hospital I went to shortly after giving birth, it was not the most supportive environment, and honestly, not the kind of environment I would have wanted to give birth in. Ordinarily it's a great hospital. It's where I was born and I had two sister-in-laws deliver there in the months and a half after I gave birth. My treatment was NOTHING like that of my sisters. That includes in the days following when I would return to hold A.
