Today was Illinois' Save Abanonded Babies Day. We honored the hardwork of the Save Abanonded Babies Foundation and all it has accomplished. Since the Save Haven Law went into effect in 2001, 31 newborns have been safely relinquished to safe havens across the state. I have met some of these children who are amazing little beings.
To celebrate, the artwork of three Chicago high school students was selected and the artists were given cash awards as were the schools they attend. The students created posters about the Safe Haven Law. They are such creative young minds! I had the priviledge of giving them the awards.
