I’m sandy, and I was born here in 1975–as a twin. (Boy/girl) supposedly SIX WEEKS PREMATURE 🙄 However, my birth certificate has no time of birth, no weigh, no measurements, and I’ve never seen ONE BIRTH pic, with my twin brother Randy, at our actual birth. Honestly, I’ve only seen pics where we were about six plus months old. I’m starting to second guess the story I was told. Supposedly — my mom says didn’t know she was having twins. 🙄 however, supposedly five mins after Randy was born— I was born. ALSO, my mom was 20, and she already had one 2.5 year old son— yet, she slipped up one day— and told me the doc had put her on a fertility DRUG. Wth? NO. Can someone please call me—I’m thinking my entire life is one big lie. I want answers. I really appreciate it. God bless!
Did you ever get a response to this? I was born there too and what to know the time of birth.
