New Jersey's Safe Haven Infant Protection Act allows an individual to give up an unwanted infant safely, legally and anonymously.  The parents - or someone acting on their behalf - can bring a baby less than 30 days old to any hospital emergency room or police station.  The New Jersey Department of Children and Families will take the infant into custody and place the infant with a foster or pre-adoptive home.
