Big deal. Anyone can put a birth announcement in any paper. People here do it all the time when they have a new grandchild.

Yes, we announced the birth of our grandson last year. You just take it to the paper.

That has never proved anything to me either. My mother has put birth announcements in the paper for all of my nieces and nephews born out of state so that people back here who know my various siblings will know they just had a child.
