Additional Info
My father's adoption was closed/private and independent of an agency. The story was that he was born in a house and delivered by the family doctor. The mother was young and visiting relatives or friends and apparently didn't want her immediate family to know she was pregnant. The family doctor knew my grandparents wanted a child, so he brought my father to them the day he was born. The only information I know is the mothers last name was 'Beal' and she was from 'up north'.
