She had gone into labor in the early morning hours on 10/04/1971 the Catholic Social worker drove her to Bartow Hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl at 2:38 pm delivering Dr. Coury The hospital staff Nurses etc would NOT let her hold the baby they let her view the baby from bed to door about 15 ft. She wrote everything into a log about her stay at the unwed mothers home to what they did to her in the Bartow Hospital. The hospital official brought her birth certificate to sign and she filled the entire areas out Birth Mothers Name, dob, Birth Fathers Name. Child Birth Name: Michelle Ann Gala.
