My name is Jennifer Sherman, I am 26 years old, born 2/5/1981 in Lake Tahoe, CA, and I am DESPERATELY searching for my birth mother. Her name is Debra/Deborah(?) Smith, and I believe she is from NY and currently resides there. I just located my birth father's family, and my father passed away 15 years ago. Everyone on that side of my family has been amazing to me and so supportive, and it makes me wonder what the other side of my family is like. I've never had big family, and the fact that it is now begining to grow is truly wonderful, and I want it to continue to grow with the addition of my birth mother and her relatives. I will never get the chance to know my birth father, and all I want is to know my mother, and hopefully develop a lasting relationship with her. I don't have a good relationship with my adoptive mother, and that makes it even more difficult to imagine the rest of my life wihtout knowing my birth mother. In addition to wanting to find my mother for the reasons I've listed, I also want to know more about my family history.My birth father (Jim Seymour) died partly due to a heart condition that I may have. Learning of this has made it doubly impotant for me to know my bith mother's family medical history.
I really hope my birth mother wants to meet me, b/c that's all I want. I don't harbour any negative feelings, and I am not resentful, nor do I feel angry or abandoned. I am just thankful for my life - truly - and I want to be able to meet my mom in person, and show her how much I already love her.
