Despite the fact that in recent years the number of women suffering from infertility is growing, who are ready to give any money to experience the joy of motherhood, there are women who are able to abandon the child in the hospital. Most of these women are from disadvantaged families, in which they lost the notion of universal values and that the child is the highest gift that she can receive. Sometimes a woman is pushed into such an act by great financial difficulties or personal problems. According to statistics, children abandoned in the maternity hospital, who themselves grew up without maternal care, often abandon their children themselves.

This application is forwarded to the guardianship and trusteeship agencies, after which the child is transferred to the newborn's department of the children's hospital, and after 28 days of life in the house of the baby.
Within 6 months a woman can change her mind and take her child. If she did not do this, the child may be sent to another family for upbringing or adoption. Any of the members of the biological mother's family can register custody of the abandoned newborn child.
