Jody,
  I have posted here before and have recieved wonderful advise.  I have
all the non-identifying info from Cathlioc Social Servies and none of it
has been any help in my search.  I was born in Huntsville, Al. and
according to Cathlioc Social Services the laws there are so strict that
they were limited to what they could do, therefore comeing up with
nothing.  In my deepest heart of hearts I believe that they were just
blowing smoke up my you-know-what and not really doing a search.
So I went out on the NET and found a list of Hospitals in Huntsville,
narrowed it down to one, and also got the phone # of the public library
that keeps all of the newspapers on microfilm.  I am hoping that maybe
my birth was posted in the paper.    I am just not sure what reason I
should give them for wanting this information.
                               Joan
