Safe surrender of infants
Angel Cradle is a safe place where parents can give up a baby. It is located outside, near the emergency department, and has a light blue door with the words Angel Cradle. This safe haven is open 24/7.
How it works
A parent or guardian can open the door and place the baby inside the cradle. You can leave health information, a note or any mementos you would like the baby to have.
A delayed alarm is triggered after the baby is placed in the cradle, telling staff that a baby has been left and giving the parent time to walk away.
The parent can seek care at the emergency department, and staff will not connect them to the baby who has been left.
What happens next
Emergency department staff will assess the baby and a social worker will contact Child and Family Services Authority (CFSA). Hospital staff or police will not try to find the baby’s parents if the baby is not hurt.
As required by law, CFSA will try to identify and find the baby’s parents. This supports a child’s right to know their parental history and gives the child a chance be reunited if the parent(s) comes forward later.
Support for parents or guardians
If you need support or want to talk about your options, call Alberta Children's Services at 780.427.3390.
