What are the chances of getting some kind of medical history on the birthfather?

If he denies he is, or is afraid to confirm that he is (not an uncommon position), then I don't see a way to get the information.My colleagues may have a different perspective.

Dear Friends:
My biological father had been in the ARMY in Vietnam and Germany.
I was actually conceived in the barracks in Heidelberg!
My bio. mother (with whom I was reunited in 1998) remembers only my father's first name (Dennis).
I have written to the military records center in St. Louis several times, but they claim they need more details in order to provide any information on my father.
I have NOT told them that I am an adoptee on a mission, as I don't want them to think I plan to disrupt Dennis' life. Really, I just want to meet him, or at least get medical information from him or extended family.
The center in St. Louis claim they need Dennis' rank, unit, etc., but I know very little about the ARMY's structure.
Why they can't simply send me a list (however lengthy) of everyone stationed at Heidelberg in April or May of 1971 I do not know.
If you can help me in any way, PLEASE e-mail me at ASSAILANTPOODLE@YAHOO.COM.
Best wishes, Annika
