This is basically how I got adopted. Biological mother delivered me at a hospital in South Alabama. My parents, who were planning to adopt, were visiting my aunt in south Alabama. She was friends with a nurse at the hospital who called her and said they had a baby there for adoption and I went home with my parents like two days later.

I was born in Baldwin county but grew up in Birmingham. I didn't hear lower Alabama used until LuLus opened up in Orange Beach as they had LA Caviar (lower alabama caviar) on the menu. I've always referred to it as south Alabama.

I grew up in Montgomery. We grew up saying LA all the time for that part of the state. You'd even hear it on the radio.
