What kind of evidence did they ask for and what have you provided so far?

In Alabama, you typically need:

We provided a affidavit from a nurse who was there at the time of my birth, my homeschooling records, my medical bills, and the failure to find.
What other early public records do you have that could support your claim? In Alabama, school records, census records, or baptismal certificates can also be used.
I don't know; we provided the school records, but I never graduated high school so maybe that's an issue.
Do you have any other documents like baptismal certificates, hospital records, or census records that could support your claim?
Yes, I have hospital records.
Have you submitted these hospital records as evidence to the Alabama Department of Public Health?
