Anonymity

If there is no evidence of abuse or neglect of a relinquished newborn infant, the relinquishing parent has the right to remain anonymous and to leave the Safe Haven Provider at any time and not be pursued or followed. Before the relinquishing person leaves the Safe Haven Provider, the Safe Haven Provider personnel shall verbally inform the relinquishing person that by relinquishing the newborn infant anonymously the relinquishing person will have to petition the court if preventing the termination of parental rights and regaining custody of the newborn infant is desired. The Safe Haven Provider shall offer the relinquishing parent an information packet containing facts about custody and parental rights.
