Annotation: This report presents the results of a study on the numbers and characteristics of boarder babies and abandoned infants in the U.S. Many of the infants are born either infected with the HIV virus, or have been prenatally exposed to illegal substances. Boarder babies are likely to be discharged into the care of their biological parents or other alternative care setting. Abandoned infants are not likely to be discharged from the hospital into the care of their parents. The costs associated with the care of these infants are also investigated.
