With hundreds of them being abandoned every year, why has the government ordered him to stop? Up to 18 babies a month end up in pastor Lee s Baby Box, a box attached to his house for women to leave their unwanted children in. "The babies that come here are the ones who d otherwise die," he says. The shame of having a baby out of wedlock leaves many women feeling desperate. But some say the Baby Box encourages mothers to abandon babies without registration, slowing down the adoption process. Pastor Lee s been ordered to shut down his facility, but remains defiant: "There is nothing illegal about saving someone s life."
