I was watching the news a few weeks ago talking about how there are some organizations out there trying to remove the sigma of abandoning a baby at a safe location like a hospital. They have a "safe drop" area, where you can walk up to an exterior wall, open a compartment and leave the baby inside. A light then goes off inside the hospital showing there is a baby there and the staff come and get it.
Hopefully things like this gain more traction. I'll stay out of the debate on if you should abandon your child or not as that is a different discussion. But giving parents a safe option for the child seems pretty important given the alternatives we see right now.
