  Sherri, a 27 year old from Alabama was placed for adoption in 1974 by her 16 year old birth mother. Sherri had a "very good life." Now married with 2 children of her own  Sherri started the search for her birth mother two years ago. Finally she contacted reunitepeople.com and within two weeks her birth mother was located in Alabama. They live one and a half hours driving distance apart. Sherri's birth mother said she had waited for that phone call for the past 10 years. After a 3 hour initial telephone conversation, the two made plans to meet for the first time the following weekend. They promise to send reunion pictures. Sherri's e-mail address is sjp51774@cs.com. She would be happy to share her experience with reunitepeople.com to others still searching .

Hey Lynn Marie!

Thank you so much for helping me find my birth mom.  When I was little I  never wanted to find her.  I thought she just didn't want me.  As I got older I still didn't really want too. I thought I might just get my medical information and that would be all. Then when I got that I wanted to know just a little more.  I had such a fear of being rejected.  Finally when I had kids of my own I understood that you have to make decisions and they might not be what the person necessarily wants to do.  This was actually my birthmother's situation. My adoptive parents were very supportive of my search.  When I knew that we had found my birth mother I told my parents immediately.  They said that when I met her and felt comfortable with it they would like to meet her.  After speaking with her for over three hours we planned to meet the next Saturday. I met her and my half sister the following Saturday.  My birth Mom and I  looked almost identical.  I have learned we have so much in common.  I have two half sisters and a nephew.  We talk to each other everyday.  We spend the weekend together at least once a month.  I can't imaging being without them now.  My adopted family has included them into our family. An example is for my birthday she and my sisters sent me 27 birthday cards.  I cried!  That was  one for each year!  My adoptive mother invited them to come down and spend the weekend and surprise me for my birthday.  It was the biggest and the best surprise I've ever had!  It is just amazing how much both of my families are alike. We still have a lot to learn about each other but we have a great relationship in just the several months that I have known her. Both of my families are special to me and we all get along and are not jealous of one another.  I'm special just as my adoptive Mom always told me because now I have two mom's that love me!  My life is finally complete and I owe it to you

 Lynn Marie!

Thank you so very much!  Sherri Price

Dear Lynn Marie.

   I don't even know where to begin to thank you for  bringing my baby back!!   No one will ever know the hurt I have felt my whole life when I lost her. I know it was the best thing to do as everyone kept telling me but no one can tell you how much it will hurt. There was NEVER a day that went by that I didn't think of her and when someone would pass away I would pray and tell them to look over her  such as my aunt for example I know that sounds silly. I was told she would have to search for me and as the years went by I thought she hated me!  I could never ask her to forgive me because I can never forgive myself. I think we have a great relationship so far and I pray it stays that way. I know we have a lot of catching up to do but I think we are taking one day at a time. Also, her family is great! They are all very nice and try there best to welcome us. I don't know if the shoe was on the other foot I could be that supportful. But that goes to show what type people they are. I owe them everything for taking care of my baby and not hurting her. Also they are my kind of people crazy!!   Hey we all have a good time together aggravating each other. This is for anyone considering finding their mother, you never know what will happen but you have to take  the chance because there is always another side to the story. Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding me for Sherri!

 Sincerely  Joyce

Dear Lynn-Marie,

I hope you enjoy the pictures. I just want to tell you that this is the best Christmas present that I have ever received.
The reunion of my son and grandson was so wonderful, I couldn't have done it without the help of you and God. I have had an empty spot in my heart for 22 years and now I feel whole again. I just hope that some day we can meet, so I may thank you personally for bringing my family back together again.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and a very happy new year!

Sincerely, Your Friend

Kathy Kinnaman
