(I think)
I have learned that there is a Deaconess home for unwed mothers, I think the name is Our Lady something or other and that there is a Deaconess Hospital. I was told by my mom that they picked me up from Deaconess Hospital on 9/30/1965 and I was born on 9/13/1965. So do you think that my bmom might have stayed at the home before I was born...I guess what I am asking is do you think they were one in the same at the time? Does anyone know if they are still 2 different places? I have looked on the net but I can not seem to figure this out.
I would ask mom but she is no longer with us.
Called the hospital today for birth records...and got the form faxed, filled it out, faxed it back, took 3 hours to figure out that I was 1 # off on the fax #...faxed with the right #
got a reply: WE DESTROYED YOUR RECORDS AFTER 20 YEARS!!!
They said I should call Oklahoma County Dept of Health...Now what are they going to tell me? Do they have a big room that they keep copies of birth records that the hospital sends them after 20 years?
What do ya think?
Nice day,
Mark
