Hospitals throughout Georgia are home to boarder babies. At times, there can be up to 50 Boarder babies in one hospital. The legal description for a boarder babies is an infant medically cleared to be discharged from the hospital, but they have nowhere to go. There are four reasons why a parent cannot take a child home: 1. If the baby has alcohol in its system. 2. If the baby has drugs in its system. 3. If the parents are homeless. 4. If the parents have lost previous children to DFCS.
