So I list out some directories, and I redirect the output to a file

I do it with:
find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \)' > out
I then go into "out" using my favorite editor and remove any
directories I don't want to search.
When I do a
find `cat out` -name 'something*'
I get an error on any directories with whitespace in them. When I try
to place quotes around that name, it doesn't work, nor does putting a
backslash in front of the space help.
Any shell experts out there have any ideas?

You might be able to do something like this:
IFS=$'\n'
find `cat out` -name 'something*'
