About this resource
In Utah, birth parents are permitted to anonymously surrender custody of their newborn without incurring any legal penalties. Designated hospitals that operate 24/7 serve as Safe Havens where newborns can be safely left. The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) subsequently arranges for the child's immediate adoption.
Who can use this
- The newborn can be surrendered at the hospital by the mother or someone authorized by her.
