I agree. The baby is safe and that is the utmost importance. Better than what some babies have suffered through when unwanted by their bio-mom.

I once heard of people who had baskets on their front porch for unwanted babies. I think this was in the 1980’s? Not sure. If a mother did not want her baby she could leave it in the basket, and I suppose it was understood the people in that house would legally adopt it. Not sure what state this was in.

I remember a lot of Looney Tune/Merrie Melody Cartoons always had the “Baby on the door step” theme them in some of their shows, so this must have been a practice back in the 1920’s to 1960’s?

Shame we could not do this again as a society.
