Every state has a law which enables a parent to relinquish a baby at a 'safe haven' such as hospitals, emergency care facilities, police stations and staffed fire stations with no questions asked. The parent(s) can fill out a medical history form for future use by the child. Illinois' window in which parents can bring a baby to a 'safe haven' is 30 days.
