You Can Save This Baby

Of the over 100 babies who are abandoned each year in Texas, about 16 will be found dead. An unknown number of murdered babies are never found. There is a solution. A Texas law provides a responsible alternative to mothers who might otherwise abandon, harm or murder a newborn child. It states that a parent may leave an unharmed infant, up to 60 days old, at any hospital or fire station with “no questions asked.” This law is nicknamed "The Baby Moses Law" from the ancient story of baby Moses who was placed in a wicker basket by his mother to be saved from death and who then grew up to become an important person in history.

We thank you for your support. You have helped us save babies lives.

Eat Well and Save Babies Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Inforzato's Cafe will donate 10% of your dining ticket to Baby Moses Dallas on Tuesday, February 28 -- just tell them you are supporting Baby Moses Dallas. Click for more informatino about Baby Moses Dallas or on Inforzato's. Oakcliff.com supports Baby Moses Dallas and its efforts to save the lives of babies in Dallas County.

The law allows a mother to hand over a baby to personnel at a fire station or hospital and walk away -- no questions asked.

Since the legislature provided no funds to publicize this law, privately funded non-profit groups in every metropolitan area in Texas have instituted public awareness campaigns. In Dallas County this group is called Baby Moses Dallas.

Our basic goal is to prevent violence and abuse against unwanted babies. The two ways we're addressing this goal are by providing state mandated signs to all designated Safe Haven sites in Dallas County (hospitals and fire stations) and  making the public aware of the law through advertising and education initiatives. Your tax deductible donation can help save a child.

We are an all volunteer organization dependent on support from people like you. Click here to learn about our goals. We are currently looking for a printer who is willing to print posters and other material to be placed in schools. For more information or to make a tax deductible donation please write:
