  • After years of struggle with infertility, Bruce and Shelby Faltynski adopted their 2nd child on November 18. 
  • The mother dropped the baby off at Chicago’s Safe Haven Box, per a state law that allows mothers up to 45 days after giving birth. 
  • Although the baby was being monitored by doctors for seizure risk and other neurological problems, Shelby felt able to adopt the baby because she is a nurse. 
  • The couple were foster parents before they adopted their first eight-year old daughter in March.

Infertility was a problem in Indiana so a couple adopted a baby who was left at a Safe Haven Box. 

Bruce and Shelby Faltynski (39 and 35 respectively) dealt with infertility through becoming foster parents. They then welcomed two adopted children, including Myah, a nearly-niece, on November 18. 

Myah was anonymously taken to a Chicago hospital’s Safe Haven Box. This Safe Haven Box is mandated by Chicago law, which allows mothers to leave their baby up until 45 days after the birth without any legal consequences. 

Bruce stated that many people have nine months to prepare in order to have a baby. ‘We had nine days.’ 

The couple, who had been foster parents in the past, adopted Kaia, 8 years, in March. They initially hesitated about adopting Myah, due to their hectic schedules. They agreed to adopt Myah and begin the process of raising a child from birth.

Before adopting their eight-year old daughter in March, the couple were foster parents.

The baby was dropped off at a Chicago hospital's Safe Haven Box per a state law that allows mothers to give up their child until 45 days after birth

The baby was left at Chicago’s Safe Haven Box. This is per a Chicago state law which allows mothers to leave their child up until 45 days after the birth.

Bruch, a Mishawaka Police Department police officer, says that Myah is not sure who her biological mother is. The family stated that they would be open to Myah having a relationship with her, if it is possible. 

Bruce stated that they pray for her mother and were grateful for her decision to choose life.

Shelby thought about Myah’s birth mother and decided to drop her off at the hospital. She added, “I couldn’t picture being in a circumstance where I felt like there was no other choice.”

Myah received emergency treatment after being dropped off at Chicago’s hospital. She was at risk of developing seizures and other neurological problems, according to doctors. By the time she reached the hospital, she had suffered a stroke. 

Shelby, a nurse, stated that she felt medically “equipped” to care for Myah and adopt her.

Shelby said that Shelby felt “uniquely equipped” to answer “yes”, given that she had experience in the medical profession.

Although the baby was being monitored by doctors for possible seizures, Shelby was confident that she could adopt the baby because of her experience as a nurse. Pictured: Kaia and Myah 

Bruce and Shelby's adoption journey began earlier this year with their first child Kaia in March. The couple had been Kaia's foster parents since she was five-years-old

Bruce and Shelby started their adoption journey in March with Kaia, their first baby. Kaia had been with the couple since she was five years-old.

Kaia, the couple’s first child, was their adoption journey.

Bruce and Shelby had adopted Myah, eight years old, after being her foster parents when she was five years old. They were chosen by child services to be Myah’s parents through the foster care system. 

Shelby explained that one of the things Shelby felt called in this season was to be foster parents. ‘Our heart was — while we waited for God to give us our own children — why would we not show His love to other kiddos for a season when their mommy and daddy couldn’t.’ 

Bruce and Shelby’s adoption story inspired their home town, Mishawaka to place one box. There will be more.
