The California Safely Surrendered Baby Law
In California, the Safely Surrendered Baby Law allows an individual to safely give up an
unwanted infant with no fear of arrest or prosecution for abandonment as long as the baby
has not been abused or neglected. The law does not require that names be given when
the baby is surrendered. Parents are permitted to bring a baby within 3 days of birth to any
designated hospital staff or designated fire station in the County of Los Angeles. The baby
will be placed in a pre-adoptive home while the adoption process gets underway.
