THE JEWISH NEWS

FE B RU A R Y

past, she was very
uncomfortable with the
idea of ever meeting
Sarah. But more than
two years later, Mrs.
Servetter says she could
handle it.
"I've grown up, so to
speak, too. I would like
to meet Sarah someday
to say thank you. I
thank this woman from
-thank
the bottom of my heart. I
don't think I ever, ever
could do what she did. I
;thank her every day of
Cheryl's life that she
agave her up so we could
have her."
Ms. Servetter's search
didn't end with her birth
mother. She has since
met and forged a rela-
tionship with her birth
father, Ronnie Kriegel,
who welcomed her with
enthusiastically open
arms.
) Her parents describe a
more happy and content
woman, but Mrs. Krystal
says Ms. Servetter's evo-
lution is far from over.
"Cheryl isn't done with
this process."
What Ms. Servetter
found is that the ques-
tion "Who am I?" doesn't
really end with a
reunion. It opened up
new feelings. New
boundaries had to be
defined, new pathways
forged, new relationship
patterns developed.
"I guess this is part of
the post-reunion stuff.
The whole time I was
there (visiting Sarah) I
kept thinking, 'Where do
I fit in? Do I belong here?
I wonder how everyone
/ -feels about me, how I feel
about everyone?' Then I
realized that I'm going to
be part of this family for-
ever; I can't change it
now. It would be impos-
sible."
Mrs. Krystal agrees
that it was important for
Ms. Servetter to bring
the search to its conclu-
sion.
"I think it was very
- helpful for Cheryl to find
this person. I think this
person answered a lot of
questions about herself.
And I feel now she knows
she has a past and it's a
- good past: 'Here's some-
one I look like. Now I
can go on. I know who I
am.'" 0
