and “here” is anywhere you see this sign. You’re scared. You’re alone. You thought you were out of options. You’re not. In Illinois, a parent who cannot care for their newborn up to 30 days old can legally hand the unharmed infant to a staff member at a hospital, police or fire station and walk away, no questions asked. When you see this sign, you know it’s safe, it’s legal, and totally anonymous. You can walk away knowing your baby and your secret are safe. For confidential help, call 888-510-BABY (2229).
