It looks like this one is done by the state instead of the hospital. I hope that might be helpful.

Thanks so much for your reply! Who would I call about this? I called the hospital in Shreveport where i had him and they told me NO, I can't get one!! Any ideas you have would be really appreciated!!

Yes mam. I live in Lafayette, Louisiana and due to PE and HELLP gave birth to my son on 05/11/11 at 22 weeks with no heartbeat. The **** hospital Social Worker still drew up a birth certificate with this foot prints for me showing date, time, mother and father's info.
