You're afraid. You don't want to keep this baby. You just want someone to take it, keep it safe, and make sure it gets a good home.
Don't panic. There are people who will help you with NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
You can leave your unharmed baby, seven days old or younger, at any hospital, emergency medical facility, staffed fire station, or police station in Illinois and walk away with no questions asked.
The baby will be cared for and placed in a loving home for adoption.
No attempt whatsoever will be made to contact you. No crime will have been committed. This is a TRULY safe process.
This law was written to provide a safe alternative to abandonment for Illinois parents who feel they cannot cope with a newborn baby. It offers safe havens for newborns, and is:

Safe Your baby will be given medical care and placed in a good home.
