How could I get my birth certificate back?

I've just received my passport but did not get my birth certificate returned to me. When applying for my passport, I was told it would be returned to me, along with the passport.

Linda,

You should receive your birth certificate in the mail shortly. Frequently, documents that are returned to applicants are sent separately from the passport. If your birth certificate does not arrive within a few days, contact the National Passport Information Center concerning this issue.
