I am a birthmom searching for information with little to go on. I know my child's birthdate within a few days, but can't remember the names of the home or the hospital. I can remember all of the small details, like what the outside of these places looked like, what the rooms looked like, general street names...but do not know where to start. In Louisiana, does anyone know if they will search for birth certificates by mother's name or do they require the exact date? I have tried the Times-Picayune since it was in New Orleans, but their articles state exact dates are not given in 1970. I thought about contacting several hospitals in the area for medical records but again, without an exact date of admission I am not sure how far I might get. If someone could just point me in the right direction...I feel lost as to where to start..I could not get a live person phone number for the Louisiana Vital Records just to ask..everything is recorded. Does anyone have any suggestions...they would be appreciated.
