So what are my plans for my project?

Well, I have a few ideas in motion:

  • Creating a blog
  • Creating a brochure to put in clinics
  • Raising awareness
  • Creating a “Safe Haven Service Day”

Have a question on any of these? Feel free to ask a question here!

Do you have an emergency?

Safe Haven Going Yellow

Recently, the Children of Hope Foundation has launched a new program, Safe Haven Going Yellow.  It takes advantage of the taxi signage campaign and this means that we are putting a 6”x 6” logo on all taxi cabs, identifying them as a mode of transportation to any Safe Haven location for pregnant mothers or mothers in distress.  Below is an image of the sticker on the taxis that identifies them as such.  

A Sign to Know

You may have seen this logo while driving around and wondered what it means.  What this sign means is that you are approaching a designated area that is marked as a "Safe Location" which means that you can give up your newborn confidentially here and it will be given to an adoption agency. You will know that you are at the right place when you see this sign on the building itself.  The below sign is also inside the building

(note that the linked site is NOT the official site of Children of Hope Foundation) 

A Bit About Me

Hi there, this is Gina and I am a Girl Scout working on my Gold Award with the Children of Hope Safe Haven foundation.  What this foundation does is help young women who are either about to give birth or just gave birth who are in distress.  Oftentimes, these women cannot keep their babies due to various circumstances, but what Safe Haven does is take in these babies (timespan varies by state so check your state here) confidentially and follows through the adoptive process.

One of the major components of my project is this blog.  On this blog will soon be various links to a FAQ section, what to do if you are pregnant and do not know what to do, and an ask box.

Please be patient!
