I used the Wikipedia article on the hospital. Maybe they're wrong, but that's my source.

The thing about the email is that it's a good bet that when a women's and a children's hospital merged they'd work "Children" into the title after the merger. It's a lot less likely they'd call themselves a "Maternity and Gynecological" hospital after the merger.

That doesn't mean the birth certificate is legit, but people should do more research than the email writer did.

Yeah, the only place any reference to names is the "About Us" link at the top of the main page on the hospital link. It just says the latest iteration was 1978.

From the Hospital's own site: "In 1890, in response to an unusually high infant mortality rate in Hawaii, Queen Kapiolani founded the Kapiolani Maternity Home to care for Hawaii’s mothers and babies. The hospital later merged with Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital in 1978 to become Kapiolani."

It doesn't help.
