A Note on Florida Adoption Law

Florida’s Safe Haven Law allows a parent to anonymously and legally surrender an unharmed newborn, without fear of prosecution, at any hospital, fire station, or emergency medical services station. As of July 1, 2024, the surrender window was expanded from 7 days old to 30 days old, and parents may now also request an EMS provider by calling 911. Florida law separately allows adoptive families to assist a birth mother with reasonable living expenses during pregnancy and for up to 6 weeks after birth.

Every family’s situation is different, and Safe Haven surrender is only one option among several. If you’re considering adoption instead, our counselors can walk you through what Florida law means for your specific circumstances.

"Found Two Amazing Families for Our Grandchildren"

“A bond of love has touched our families several times. Angie goes above and beyond for mother’s facing one of the hardest decisions they will ever make. She listens to the moms and matches them with amazing families. She stands by their sides through and after the adoption process.

She genuinely cares about each mom she meets, each babies she sees, each family she helps.
There is that perfect family for everyone.

Angie has found two amazing families for our grandchildren. She gives updates and pictures of the little ones on a regular basis, handles gift swaps should families want that, organizes yearly visits.

Our daughter is able to reach out to her children directly on a regular basis with the adoptive family. Our grandson is able to see his sister and brother for play dates. All of the little ones know they are adopted, they know they have a bigger family and are loved by so many people. We were very blessed to have met Angie and a bond of love.”
