Dear Pastor,

Greetings in the name of Jesus. I am seeking your assistance in finding my mother. I met her only once in my entire life before I migrated to Canada at 13. My father's ex-wife adopted me and my mother signed the adoption papers.

I was raised with my father's parents from I was 3 months old until the age of 13. They are the best grandparents in the entire world. I was not lacking anything until I came to Canada. I am longing to see my mother. My name is Juliet Elizabeth Bedward. My mother's name is Joy Thompson. She is originally from St Elizabeth, but she migrated to Kingston where she met my father Gilbert Bedward.

My father told me nothing about her. His family never met her so they cannot help me. I know lots of people read your column and listen to your radio programme. So, I am appealing to you for help. I know I have a brother and a sister by her side. Their names are Damion and Janice. God richly bless you.

J.B.

Dear J.B.,

I am happy to know that you have had good grandparents and that they treated you very well from the time you were a baby. I could understand the desire you have to know your biological mother. I am sure that many times she wished that she could see you too. However, she knew that when she signed the adoption papers, she did so in your interest. May God bless her wherever she is.

I doubt very much that your father and your adoptive mother would be upset if you should find her. I trust that someone who knows her whereabouts would inform us. May God be with you and bless you.

Pastor
