The law does not prevent a mother from changing her mind. The baby may be assigned an identification number, which will also be given to the mother. If the mother changes her mind, she should call the Secret Safe Place for Newborns Helpline at 1-866-699-SAFE or contact her local Department of Children’s Services office. She can lose her right to reclaim the baby 30 – 90 days after the baby is taken to a Safe Haven location.
