KEISHA GRANT, co-anchor:

New at 5:30, the state's Safe Haven law appears to be working. Two infants were dropped off at Connecticut hospitals during the month of March. The law allows mothers to drop off their newborns at ERs, no questions asked. And it appears to be making world of difference. Lisa Carberg is here with some of the happier endings.

LISA CARBERG reporting:

Keisha, we got to meet some of the other babies today, and also their new adoptive parents, who couldn't be happier. They want to raise awareness about the Safe Haven law to let other expectant moms know they have safe options

Little Colton's birth mother knew she couldn't raise him, so she used Connecticut's Safe Haven law and dropped him off at an emergency room like this one. His adoptive mother tearfully expressed her gratitude today that one mother chose not to just abandon him.

Unidentified Woman (Adoptive Parent): Colton will grow up knowing that she loved him enough to take him to a safe place where he could find us.

CARBERG: Today, the Department of Children and Families introduced Connecticut couples who are now parents after adopting Safe Haven babies.

Unidentified Man (Adoptive Parent): With any woman who is in this position where they're not sure if they can care for a child, just get in touch with DCF and talk to them about it.

CARBERG: These adoptive parents were already licensed through DCF when the babies were dropped off. Little Hanna was brought to St. Francis Hospital on Christmas Day 2007, where nurses gladly took her in.

Ms. JEANINE LAINE (St. Francis Hospital Nurse): I cried that night. I almost cried today. It's just an amazing--it's an amazing experience to be through and I'm just glad that I was a part of it.

CARBERG: Hanna's grateful adoptive mother.

Ms. HOLLY DESIMONE (Adoptive Mother): Because of the existence of this law, my daughter was brought into this world and given a chance for life. Her birth mother knew of the existence of the Save Haven law and gave a little baby girl a chance in a forever loving family.

Unidentified Woman: Other women who are scared and who are in that same position, find the strength to do what she did and do the right thing. Your child will grow up with a promising future and a family will be given the most wonderful gift of all.

CARBERG: Now, since the Safe Haven law was passed in 2000, 11 babies have been safely left at ERs in Connecticut. And with budget cuts going on, the state can't afford advertising this year, but pamphlets are being handed out at middle and high schools and women are encouraged to call the 211 info line for information.
