    2. There was a Breco Hosp in Ada during the time frame that you are talking abouut, I can't remember when it closed. The Historical Society at Ada has all the hosp records for Valley View & I believe the Breco Hosp. I found my Dad's & my hospitol birth record at the library several yrs ago. It would be worth a try, also you might ck with OKC historical society & find out who has the records for the Baptist Orpanage in OKC It ws open until about late 60's. There was also a home for unwed mothers on North Portland, in OKC where PG girls were sent if they were not married or didn't want their babies when they were born. The home of Redeaming Love was where Deaconess Hosp is now, in fact when I was Pg with my daughter in 1966, I started having a miscarrage & did lose her twin, my obgyn Dr was at Deaconess & ordered my husb to bring me there, I remember thinking that everyone would think I was not married, even though I had been married 3 yrs. The telephone # of the hosp is 405-604-6000, they would possibly know what happend to the records. I have helped a couple of people find their birth parents & some states still have the records closed and some have open records. Hope this will help some one, if you need anymore numbers for the OKC area I will look them up for you. Kay Sugg Best

I knew something about "The Home Of Redeeming Love". The records on the BRECO HOSPITAL for 1936 offer the best hope, I think. I wonder if the Historical Society would do a lookup of the records, or if I would have to travel to Ada to look at them?. BK
