Additional Info
As far as I remember, the birth Father's name (Paul Edwin Cox) was not on the birth certificate per my Mother's direction as I was a minor.
The Doctor that delivered the baby was Susan Drake. He weighed 7lbs 2-1/2oz at birth. I stayed in the hospital for about 2 days after. He did as well. I spent several hours in the nursery with him before the nursing staff forced me to leave. They wouldn't allow me back in again before I left the hospital. As far as I know, I was the only one to see him before his adoptive parents came for him. I was able to take a couple pictures that have since been lost. The birth Father as well as my Mother )maternal Grand Mother) were both present while I gave birth.
