A gf and I decided to give up our child while she was pregnant because we were already in process of breaking up. I finally sent in my registration paperwork but the home cannot cross-reference my name (birth father) and match me up with child or birthmother's records because I cannot for the life of me remember girlfriend's last name. I am quite suprised that the agency cannot cross-reference both father's and mother's names.

The hospital did say that a courtorder would allow me to request info from them so that I can identify birthmother's name but I have not called a lawyer yet to find out the expense. Is it possible for me to ask a judge myself for a court order that I can present to hospital to avoid additional lawyer's fees?
