Safe Haven Boxes vs. Adoption: What’s Right for You?

While Safe Haven Baby Boxes offer anonymity, they come at a cost: You lose the chance to be involved in your baby’s future. Your baby goes into the foster care system and you don’t get to know what happens next.

Adoption gives your child more. And it gives you peace of mind.

You don’t need to be near a Baby Box or have transportation to choose adoption. If you call or text our staff, we can offer you support anywhere in the United States.

What Happens After You Use a Baby Box or Safe Haven Location in Nevada?

Once your baby is surrendered:

• They are taken into state custody.
• The baby is typically placed in a temporary foster home.
• The baby becomes eligible for foster adoption.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to choose the adoptive family or receive any updates. The file is sealed. There’s no way to know where your child goes or what kind of life they’ll have.

However, if you choose to place your baby with a private adoption agency, you can have more control, while still receiving updates and choosing the type of contact and updates you want in the future.
