Are you dealing with an unplanned pregnancy? You have options, and it’s very important to know about them before making the final decision.
If and when you understand that you are unable to take proper care of your baby, you will feel overwhelmed and start thinking, what’s next? You may get confused between adoption and safe haven. We’ll help you to understand the difference between giving your baby up for adoption versus placing your baby in a safe haven.
What is Safe Haven for Unplanned Pregnancies?
There are some women who consider choosing an option called Infant Safe Haven. This law allows birth mothers to give up their children willingly to in places like hospitals or fire stations. In a few states, there are “newborn safety devices” or “baby boxes” available. Newborns can stay here safely and anonymously. Local child welfare steps in and takes custody of the baby. They only place these infants in the foster care system.
Adoption vs. Safe Haven: Select the Best Option for Your Baby
If you contact Courageous Hearts Adoptions, we will connect you with an adoption specialist. You can discuss your fears, questions, and options anytime, 24/7. Remember, the adoption specialist will help you relieve your emotional blockage. You still have privacy, and we will always respect your choice. But you can also choose the level of contact you wish to maintain with your baby and receive updates.
One of the biggest differences is that Child Protective Services takes care of a baby that stays in a Safe Haven. Babies who are in foster care go into a foster family. If you plan to put your baby up for adoption, then your child will get placed in a safe, loving, permanent home immediately, as chosen by you, the mother of the child.
At Courageous Hearts Adoptions, you have complete control over the future of your child. As a mother, you can think about giving your child a dream life that you may have given a thought but cannot offer at the moment of their birth.

Positive Adoption Language Disclaimer –
We understand that using words such as “give up” or “put up” to describe adoption can be hurtful and inappropriate. However, we must include these words in our blog posts to appear in expectant moms’ Google search results. While we promote positive adoption of language, many expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means. Therefore, our blog posts may use the language they understand, such as “how do I give up my baby for adoption” or “how do I put up my baby for adoption,” in order to explain how to create an adoption plan for their baby.
