What is the maximum age for an infant to be eligible for Safe Harbor?

The eligibility for Safe Harbor protections typically mandates that an infant must be 30 days old or younger. This initiative is designed to provide a safe haven for newborns who may be abandoned or at risk, allowing parents to relinquish them without facing legal repercussions, provided they meet specific criteria. By setting the maximum age at 30 days, the program ensures that it targets very young infants who are most vulnerable and in need of immediate safety and care. This approach reflects a commitment to protecting infants during the crucial early stages of life when they are most dependent on caregivers for their survival and well-being.
