For the fifth time this year, a newborn was surrendered to a Safe Haven Baby Box in Indiana, bringing the nation’s total to 12.
A 2-day-old baby girl was dropped off in the baby box at Fire Station #1 in Kokomo.
The Baby Box has heating and cooling elements to provide comfort for the infant, along with silent alarms to notify first responders.
The newborn is attended to within five minutes, medically evaluated at the hospital, and adopted within 30 to 45 days.
The mother left a note sharing the love and hopes she had for her daughter.
Indiana has the most baby boxes of any state in the US with 103.
