They have anonymous drop boxes, but you can't leave a baby that is more than 60 days old. No idea how they'd find you if you left a 3 month old baby, but whatever. This isn't unusual though. California limits it to 3 days old.
You can also leave a baby at any police station, fire station, or ER.
69 babies in the last 5 years have been dropped off at safe boxes.
In the past 6 months, 7 have been found dead/abandoned.
