Newborn Surrendered to Safe Haven Baby Box in Montgomery, Alabama
Breitbart ^ | December 29, 2025 | Katherine Hamilton

A newborn baby boy described as only “hours old” was safely surrendered to a Safe Haven baby box in Montgomery, Alabama, on Dec. 22.

The baby was surrendered to a baby box at Fire Station 10, the Montgomery Advertiser reported, citing a release from Montgomery Fire/Rescue (MFR). First responders delayed the announcement of the baby’s surrender intentionally to protect the privacy and anonymity of those involved.

“Fire Station 10 personnel responded immediately after the Safe Haven Baby Box alert activated,” Montgomery Fire/Rescue (MFR) said. “Inside the temperature‑controlled compartment, firefighters discovered a healthy newborn boy who appeared to be only hours old.”

The Montgomery Police Department also responded to the surrender, in accordance with protocol, according to the report. The infant was transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation and care.

“We want to thank the parent(s) for having the courage to ensure their child’s safety by trusting us with him,” MFR said in the release. “Choosing this path reflects tremendous love, bravery, and a desire to give this baby a hopeful future.”

Safe Haven Baby Box officials and the Alabama Department of Human Resources are also involved in the process. MFR said the surrender is the second to that baby box location, which was installed in May, and is “one of approximately 70 safe surrenders nationwide through this life‑saving program.”

Baby boxes were created to deter parents from abandoning their newborns in unsafe conditions, potentially leaving them to die. Baby boxes are temperature-controlled incubators often built into exterior walls of fire stations, police stations, and hospitals, and can be accessed from inside.

I am sure a caring family has been on an adoption list for a long time.

God bless those babies. And I pray for mercy on the parents who brought the babies there instead of much worse.

There should be a lot of interest in adopting the boy, lots of good folks in Montgomery and surrounding area.

I appreciate the PD for putting out this statement:

““We want to thank the parent(s) for having the courage to ensure their child’s safety by trusting us with him,” MFR said in the release. “Choosing this path reflects tremendous love, bravery, and a desire to give this baby a hopeful future.””

You know that the person(s) abandoning the baby will be watching the news and social media to see if the baby is okay. That statement will assure her she made the right decision for the child and that there will be no condemnation or repercussions from the authorities. It may encourage others who are distraught and suffering to do the same thing rather than harming a child.

Praise God! May many more mothers make this choice instead of abortion.
