About this resource
In Utah, birth parents have the option to anonymously relinquish custody of their newborn without any legal repercussions. Any hospital in Utah that operates 24 hours is recognized as a Safe Haven, where newborns can be safely left. The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) subsequently arranges for the child to be placed for immediate adoption.
Who can use this
- The newborn may be left at the hospital by the mother or someone authorized by her.
