Currently there are no safe surrender / safe haven laws in place in Canada. We believe it is time to change this. Safe Surrender and Safe Haven laws allow a mother the opportunity to surrender an unharmed infant 0-90 days old on average to any safe person at any safe place, ex. hospital emergency rooms, police stations, fire stations. In giving mothers a viable option such as safe surrender we are saving hundreds of babies from abandonment immediately after birth usually leading to the death of the child. No child deserves to die alone, afraid, hungry and cold in a trash can, dumpster, ditch - we can make a difference in these child's lives. Please sign this petition if you agree it is important to implement safe have laws in Canada and pass it on.

26 infants, 13 boys and 13 girls, have been saved due to the Safe Haven Legislation in Idaho. Even though I don't think it is advertised enough, it still helped save those 26 children. Canada needs to pass some kind of Safe Haven Act to protect the innocent infants that maybe abandoned.

I strongly believe that the Safe Haven option should be available in every Canadian hospital, fire station, police department. There are hundreds of couples waiting to adopt a baby. The Safe Haven would be a great win-win situation for everyone involved. It would allow the childless couple to have a family, the child would be raised in a loving environment and the birth mother could go on with life without being a murderer. Why Canadian Government doesn't allow Safe Haven legislation to be passed?
