The law allows a parent or legal guardian to confidentially surrender an infant, three days old or younger, to any hospital emergency room. As long as the baby has not been abused or neglected,
the person may surrender the baby without fear of arrest or prosecution for child
abandonment. No names are required, and the parent(s) will not be subject to
prosecution for child abandonment. The baby will receive needed medical treatment
and be placed in an adoptive home
