How It All Began

The birth of Abandoned Babies© was inspired by the love of God and that love was conveyed and conceived into Simone’s heart. Simone Burns is the President and Founder of the Organization. August of 2002 is when it all began, and during this time, Simone began to conduct extensive research about abandoned newborn babies. The results were shocking! Babies abandoned by their birth mothers were in very dangerous and serious trouble. She uncovered documentation, about babies being abandoned in ways which made the common perception or idea of abandonment – a baby wrapped in a thick, soft blanket, nice and warm with a bottle of milk and a note with the baby’s name – simply to be just that. An idea!

Since Oct. 2003, we have received over 15,000 calls related to child abandonment.

Who We Are

The birth of Abandoned Babies© was inspired by the love of GOD and that love was conveyed and conceived into Simone’s heart. Simone Burns is the President and Founder of the Organization. August of 2002 is when it all began, and during this time, Simone began to conduct extensive research about abandoned newborn babies. The results were shocking! Babies abandoned by their birth mothers were in very dangerous and serious trouble.

What We Do

Newborn babies were being dumped in trashcans, airports, alleyways, behind stairwells even shoeboxes! Believe it or not, there is evidence that the remains of a baby boy were found in a shredder at a work place, and a baby was born and abandoned in Disney World. The article that Simone read this information from, reported that it was astonishingly NOT the first incident in which the woman who gave birth and abandoned her baby at Disney World has committed.

Why We Do It

Simone searched libraries, the Internet, spoke with people in schools, visited hospitals and the list goes on. Her initial research efforts were to find data about children in Nevada, but she was shocked again and again when she learned that abandonment is not only a serious issue here in Nevada, but all over the United States.

Since the founding of the organization we have had a direct impact on over 1,000 children and families (public appearances and events), an indirect impact of over 160,000 children and families (residents of Nevada), and over 2,000,000 visitors (through the generous gifts from T.V. and radio stations, brochures, letters, flyers, advertisement in the newspapers, businessmen/women, vistors and residents of Nevada.
