How does this happen? Probably at night. Wept and always wrapped in a scarf to hide the face, my mother is a quick step to the monastery with a parcel in his hands. Dark Lane, of course the wind, she looks around, trying to figure out whether someone is watching her. And it is sure to be a long high stone wall and a niche that can be curtailed in a few minutes remain inconspicuous. There's a woman stops, bends the edge of the children's Blankets, kisses the sleeping baby and cross over, stretches out the window. Child taking the good old hands in the nun's habit. And now to run. Another way quickly and without looking back. The decision was made a long time, even before birth.





Barely 02 being in Krakow, I immediately went out into the street Przybyszewski the monastic order of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, the first in Poland, "Window of Life".



03 Order of the building is almost indistinguishable from adjacent buildings, except that a plastic window at the level of the pavement with the inscription «Okno Życia».



04 Even during the day there are very few passers-by, look around to find the cameras - they are not. I decide to go inside.



05 Sister monastic order says that last night the alarm went off, but fortunately in the window there was no one. They do not expect that there will be a baby, but hope that if some tragic mother decides to act, it will make it here, and would not leave a child in a train station, a park bench or in the trash.



06 In Catholic Poland, abortion is illegal. Pregnancy can be interrupted only if the threat to the life of the mother or if it is the result of rape, that must be proved in court. In a humiliating process unit and formally agreed in a country of forty year it made a total of 200 abortions.



07 Each year, about 200 thousand Polish women terminate their pregnancies in the Ukraine, Germany, Czech Republic and Russia's Kaliningrad region, but for that we need the means and opportunity to leave. The worst option - to throw a child anywhere is at the very unsettled and unhappy women.



08 In this room, no one on duty - my mother with no one to meet the gaze when the baby will be put. Alarm only works to close the window, telling the nuns of the new baby.



After 09 holes in the wall air conditioner support for the child's best climate. The police call no one will - it's usually like to try to calculate the "sinner" throw the baby. Call in "fast", the survey toddler and two (!) Of the week he will be new parents, if the mother, suddenly, think again.



10 This window Krakow six years has given new life to fourteen newborn. Now these places throughout Poland 48. 33 rescued the baby live in new families.



In Russia, these windows are very called in Russian "baby boxes" only four. In Perm, Armavir, Krasnodar and Sochi. This is not a cheap plastic double-glazed windows with kondeem in Poland, and bought ten thousand euros Czech system "shrill alarm" and blocking the re-opening 15-30 seconds. That's how much time is given by the Russian mother to come to their senses. News sites reported two abandoned babies. One of them is adopted, the first course, who would doubt. All others will fill up the house of the baby. But it is still better than dying unnoticed at the entrance to the hospital.
