The Letters Didn’t Make Sense

After what felt like the longest week of Lukasik’s life, her mother’s birth certificate arrived on her doorstep. Her hands shaking with excitement, she ripped open the envelope and looked over the document. While it seemed relatively normal, three little letters left Lukasik confused…

In one section of Rita’s birth certificate, someone had stamped the letters “COL.” By this point, Lukasik had delivered her own children, but had never seen these letters on a birth certificate before. So, she decided to reach out to the State of Louisiana once again, hoping they could explain the stamp on her mother’s document.
