Hi there. I'm just going to start off by saying I don't know anything at all about Surfing or boards or anything like that at all. I don't know if any of you know Erica Eggert, but that's my Mom. I'm sure none of you knew that she even had a child because I didn't know until yesterday myself. She had me on in May of 1989 while she was going to school in Richmond, then placed me up for adoption because she knew that she couldn't give me the life that she wanted for me. So here, almost 21 years later, and a year after starting my search for my biological parents, I've discovered that Erica Eggert is my mom's name. She passed away back in 1992 when she was hit by a drunk driver in Florida. Most of the rest of my family has passed away as well except for my uncle who I spoke to for the first time yesterday as well. He didn't even know I existed. He did tell me though that my Mom was REALLY big into surfing and was one of the first female surfers on the East Coast. When I googled her, I found a post on here about her so I figured maybe this was a good place to start trying to find out some more about my Mom. Since she didn't live at home for a while, I'm sure there are some things that my Uncle and the little bit of family I have left, don't know about her. I'm just trying to fill in some missing pieces and find out some more information, get in touch with her friends... all that good stuff... so that I can put some pieces together :)
Thanks So Much! I've also included a picture of me beside a picture of my Mom. Maybe the face will jolt some memories. [img_assist|nid=1050062|title=Erica Eggert|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=0|height=0]
