Perhaps I looked in the wrong place, but I saw very little in the news about infant adoption this year….No doubt, though, that courts across the land were filled with tiny adoptees–girls in Disney princess costumes and boys in suits and ties–getting their names changed and records sealed. It doesn’t have to be that way. We are here for them. Continue Reading →
A couple weeks ago, I interviewed with Roni Dori from Calcalist, the largest business publication in Israel, regarding adoptee opposition to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. The official English language article will be out next week, and I think it will be online. But in the meantime, here is the original, which you can translate with Google. Translate.

The Trumpyesque meme below was posted on SHBB social media sometime back, and illustrates perfectly bell hooks’ astute observation about the person becoming the product. That is, Mrs Kelsey makes her “baby saving” movement about herself. Look at me! Continue Reading →
Within the last 6 weeks, Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc Founder/CEO Monica Kelsey received awards for what these days passes for humanitarian service. That is, encouraging girls and women to conceal pregnancies, forego pre and post-natal care and safe delivery, and the dump and run anonymous “legalized” newborn-abandonment-by box-in-the-firehouse-wall schemes she is attempting to sweep across the country.

But, note that it indicates the number of abandoned babies up to 1 year of age. The Nebraska Safe Haven law, passed in 2008 limits the age an infant can be safe havend to 30 days. (It was recently increased to 90) That’s a big difference, especially when newborns are at risk for discard and murder within the first 24 hours of birth. Continue Reading →
According to this report, Znachko made the most astounding claim during the ceremony:
“I believe that it is the number one initiative that we have to battle infant mortality in the state of Indiana and across our country. Even though it’s a privately funded device, it is the private sector and the public sector coming together to battle this really important issue,” Continue Reading →
Now, I believe that SHBB Inc founder and CEO Monica Kelsey actually cares about these babies. She may love them. It’s not an act. She sometimes refers to them as “my babies.” She fantasizes occasionally that someday one of these (grateful) kids will grow up and take over the baby box company when she retires. Frankly, I don’t see her ever retiring because it’s much more fun and easier than her former job of firefighter/EMT, and there’s lots of free travel thanks to other people’s dimes. Continue Reading →
West Virginia University, has agreed to donate $16,000 to cover the partial cost of two Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Wheeling. $8,000 each with the rest covered by other donors. That the state’s flagship institution of higher education–a public land-grant research university– is throwing money at such an ugly discriminatory misogynistic adopteephobic social experiment ( whew!) is so disgusting… Continue Reading →
This crew runs a bigger soap opera than Days of Our Lives could ever dream up. They never miss a photo op. Neither does the baby abandonment company Continue Reading →
Nothing says National Adoption (Awareness) Month more than the current SHBB national janggernaut. We are just about half-way through this dreadful month, and seven new boxes have been opened–excuse me, blessed–so far. Another is scheduled to open this week. Who knows what’s in store for us for the rest of the month? Adoption is beautiful! Especially with no pesky parental strings, best practice, and ethics attached. Continue Reading →
