[QUOTE="DDD, post: 584949, member: 35"] I surely don't have "the answer" but my gut tells me that if you randomly show up at a police or fire station and say "here is my baby"...uh....the chances are pretty huge that the person would say "let me drive you to the hospital, or let me get my Sgt. or wouldn't you like to lay down or may I have your name and address?" I just don't think most adults (and many of the firemen/policemen are young adults) would just take the baby and say "good luck". I could be wrong. I would think that a toll free crisis response team of women might be more likely to say "hang on" "we're coming" "keep the baby warm" "do you need us to bring anything for you like a coat or a blanket?" I would trust women to respond quickly and in a healthier anonymous way. Maybe I'm partial to female volunteers. Sigh. DDD PS: In a small town where "everyone" knows "everyone" there would have to be a pledge of secrecy or at the grocery store the next day everyone would be whispering "Did you hear Peggy Sue had a baby and dropped it off?" Ugh! [/QUOTE]
