Dear Editor:

I was born Jody/Jodie Lynn/Lynne Lambert, Aug. 27, 1969 in the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton.

I would like to find my birth family and am looking for anyone who may know of me or about me. I have little to go on except that my non-identifying information says that both my parent were Metis. My mother was about 17 and had a brother, she was 5'4" at my birth with brown hair and brown eyes. My birth father was 21 and 5'9" medium build brown hair and brown eyes. I was born with a birthmark on my stomach. I also have a white rabbit fur coat that came with me at the time of adoption, it is definitely homemade, a beautiful piece of work.

I would love to hear from anyone who may know something about me. I will be turning 30 this year and would finally like to know where I came from. It has been a long road for me and I am currently working on my healing process and need to find my birth family. My family does not have to be apart of my life if they don't want to but I do need to know my family background, I have three children of my own. Anyone with information can call me at my home. My number is (604) 864-5785 or through Vancouver's United Native Nations. One last piece of information that I am not sure is true is that my grandparents lived on a reserve and wanted me but the government did not allow this. From the bottom of my soul please help me. I really need to be healed.
