A typical day for Monica Kelsey includes fielding calls and emails from groups hoping to install a safe haven baby box.
"The box is also heated," Kelsey said."It's also cool, you know, so the temperature on the inside of the box stays about 75 to 84 degrees." Kelsey was adopted, but she didn’t know she was abandoned and that her mother was the victim of rape until she was older. "It takes the face-to-face interaction away, the shame, the judgment, all of that, but allows her to save her child's life," Kelsey said.
