It started out because a neighbor wanted her ex-boyfriend to relinquish any claim on their son so her fiance could start adoption proceedings. Ex-boyfriend was out of the picture since before the fiance met the neighbor, before the baby was born.

So I volunteered to look for her. First stop - the library, CT General Statutes to check on state custody law. But first I had to figure out which volume of the CTGS it was in, since there are like - 20 of them, a few of them 2 inches thick.

I started with the index - which was its own volume. Found some interesting topics so I wrote those down to get back to them another day. By the end of my visit I had two pages of "interesting things to read when I have time" and still hadn't found the custody info.

After a few months I had all the info for my neighbor, and had gone through every volume of the CTGS.
