faceook(Gainesville, Ga.) Jenessa Simmons, a 21 year old woman who has been searching for her birth mom for the past 3 years, finally found her birth mom with the help of Facebook.

On Sunday January 27th, Simmons posted a picture of herself holding a sign with information about her birth parents on it. In the picture Simmons is also holding a sign that says, “Please like and share”.

Simmons had her friends share the picture on their Facebook pages to help get the picture around.

Within 3 days of putting the picture up on Facebook, Simmons had a response from her birth mom. Her birth mom contacted her and proved she was Simmon’s birth mom by providing Simmons with baby pictures. Simmon’s birth mom had received the baby pictures from Simmon’s adoptive parents.

For Simmons, a social networking site proved to make a huge impact in her life by helping her find her birth mom.
