| 1/27/26 | Grace Found: A Baby Box Adoption Story | A newborn placed in a Safe Haven Baby Box. Two parents on the verge of giving up. One life-changing phone call that turned a headline into a home. We sit down with Jennifer and Mario—adoptive parents of Gracie, the third baby ever surrendered in a baby box—to trace a path from infertility and heartbreak to a living room full of laughter, crayons, and Ozzy Osbourne sing-alongs. They walk us through the near-misses in foster care, the moment they read about a nearby surrender just five miles f... | 59m 19s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | From Radio Waves To Rescues: Pat Miller On Championing Safe Haven Baby Boxes | Sitting with our longtime friend Pat Miller, we unpack how Safe Haven Baby Boxes transform a desperate moment into a safe handoff—alarms triggering on door open, climate control keeping infants secure, firefighters trained to respond in minutes without confronting the mother. We go deeper than headlines to tackle the “now what” so often missing from pro-life debates. Our work meets women where they are—planning an adoption, handing a child to trained staff, or choosing anonymous surrender—wi... | 36m 35s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | A Police Officer, A Nurse, And The Baby Box That Built A Family | A single email on spring break flipped our world: a newborn had been safely surrendered in a Baby Box, and we were asked to interview that night. Between a police station with spotty reception and a nurse’s instinct, we said a shaking, courageous yes. What began as a late-night Zoom became a story of rescue, resilience, and a family remade—twice. We walk through the moments that matter: the training gaps first responders face around Safe Haven laws, the medical unknowns that shadowed the fir... | 40m 45s | ||||||
| 10/21/25 | Expanding Safe Haven: From Laws To Life-Saving Devices | Two infants a year might sound small—until you’re the coroner who sees what happens when a parent has nowhere safe to turn. We invited Chief Deputy Coroner Riley Hoff from Douglas County, Washington, to explore why well-intended Safe Haven laws still miss families in crisis and how a simple extension—24/7 anonymous infant safety devices—can turn fear into a safe handoff and a second chance. We unpack the real constraints on the ground: the 72-hour window, the requirement to face staff at lim... | 25m 47s | ||||||
| 10/7/25 | Saved In A Box, Raised In Love | Two alarms changed everything—one to a fully involved fire, and one to a life waiting in a baby box. We sat down with the Martinez family in Albuquerque to share the raw, unedited journey from infertility and foster‑care training to the moment a five‑pound newborn arrived at their station and rewrote their future. What followed was a whirlwind of NICU nights, confusing protocols, and a simple vow to keep showing up. Along the way, we talk openly about grief from the fatal blaze, the moral cou... | 45m 18s | ||||||
