Our board includes doctors, nurses, social workers, adoptive parents, and first responders. Several of them have been on the receiving end of a Safe Haven surrender. They know what it looks like when a mother walks into a fire station at 2 AM. They know what it feels like to hold a newborn that someone just handed over. That experience is what drives the way we operate.
One of Colorado’s first Safe Haven babies is now 22 years old and in college. She is actively involved in our work and regularly speaks on behalf of the organization. Her life is the clearest proof that this law does what it was designed to do.
Sara Wagner, our Executive Director, runs the day-to-day operations, chases sponsors, coordinates with hospitals and fire departments across the state, and makes sure the funding is there so parents have access to mental health support at no cost. She will tell you this work is personal for everyone on the team.
