Searching for birthmom

I was born in Winter Haven, Polk County, Florida on 1/24/62. My adoption wasn't legal until 6/5/62. My case # is 55957-73-486 awarding custody of me to Harold Anthony and Barbara Jeannette Jost of Winter Haven. Circuit Judge D.O. Rogers signed the decreee. My given name was Paula Celeste Jost. I was taken home from the hospital by Harold and Barbara. The delay in finalization was due to Barbara's dependence on alcohol. They were on a 6 month probation period from what my adoptive dad has told me. He has also told me my mom lived in the Orlando, Orange County, Florida area and traveled to Winter Haven, about 1 1/2 hours, to deliver and relinquish rights to me. There are probably siblings. I was born out of wedlock. Not sure if mom was married, in divorce proceedings or single, but was involved with a man who was in the public eye and not interested in a possible scandle.
Does any of this story sound even vaguely familiar? Does Central Florida come to mind? Please, if you know anything, no matter how remote it may be, please respond or pass this along to someone who would know and/or respond. Thanks!
