My husband, Steve, have lived in Pass Christian for the last 17 years. We are both medical professionals and have four beautiful children. We are also Foster/adoptive parents.
In September of last year I started work to get Mississippi’s first Safe Haven baby box (shbb.org). In that time, I was able to be in touch with representatives/ legislators in Jackson and we were able to change the Safe Haven law to operate Safe Haven baby box in any city that may want to house a box. Also, we were able to change the time from 7 days to 45 days old that a mother can safely surrender a child without the fear of prosecution.
