The Baby Moses Project was established to address an alarming increase in newborns being abandoned in perilous places. The mission of the project is to publicize a confidential, and safe alternative to newborn abandonment.
To that end, Representative Morrison authored the Country's first Baby Moses legislation, which provides desperate mothers a responsible alternative to newborn abandonment. Since its passage in 1999, all 50 states have implemented similar measures, and hundreds of newborns have been saved nationwide - nearly 100 in the state of Texas.
We are dedicated to providing a safe shelter for the youngestand most vulnerable members of our society. With the cooperation and assistance of compassionate individuals, we feel that this project will undoubtedly lead to the successful saving of numerous lives. We are confident that this effort, partnered with those of other states and organizations, will result in a national recognition of this tragic problem.
Why have we chosen the name, “The Baby Moses Project”? Because, in addition to being placed in a basket, Moses was also carefully watched over by an anonymous protector until he was safely placed in the arms of an in a person who could provide the love and care necessary for life. Similarly, those involved with this project and the implementation of abandonment legislation, want to provide a protector for newborns, and anonymity for desperate mothers who choose a responsible alternative to abandonment.
