I had to backspace to erase my initial response to this thread. I cannot understand situations like these...New Jersey has a Safe Haven law...I don't understand people that don't use it. Even if the baby was born stillborn, the act of disposing of the baby like trash is so cold.....I can't understand it.

Stillborn? Wouldn't a normal person just call an ambulance? So many want children and can't have them .....then there is this[emoji36]
 
How nice of them to get HER medical care, and do goodness only knows what with their baby.
I opened this thread fully expecting 15 year old parents. 30 and 34? WTF?
 
This am I watched videos posted by adoptive parents of newborn or months-old babies, mostly from China. They were the cutest, most adorable beings, and instantly adored by their new parents. I've never had any children so I'm just awestruck, and gape at their every antic!

Exactly... stillborn babies nowadays, at least where I live (I know laws about requirements differ by jurisdiction) are given full funerals and birth certificates ... you name them, dress them and love them just as you would any baby ... I don't think it is an acceptable excuse if that is the case with this couple.
 
This is the most recent thing I could find about these two. I'm surprised they didn't try and make the location of the body part of the agreement, or maybe they did, but just couldn't find it.

A baby that is dead before birth would not be given a "certificate of live birth," which is what we commonly refer to as a "birth certificate." Some government agencies will issue something like a "certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth" or similar. Which is great if such a thing brings any psychological comfort to bereaved parents.

There is never a requirement to have a funeral, whether the deceased is a stillborn, a child, or an adult. Having a funeral is a completely private decision and the government can't require it or prohibit it.

Some anti-choice politicians have attempted to make laws that require funerals for fetuses, in an effort to make abortions more expensive. But mandating that a funeral ceremony take place when the involved parties or legal next of kin do not want one is 100%, absolutely, completely outside the lawful authority of government in the United States. The government can't mandate a funeral any more than it can mandate baptism or bar mitzvahs.
