DNA test confirms now-adult woman’s suspicion she didn’t belong with family raising her...
More than two decades ago, a newborn sick with fever was snatched from a New York City hospital, her frantic mother returning to the emergency room to find an empty crib. On Wednesday, police said the baby — now a woman who reached out to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children because she suspected that the people raising her were not her real family — has been found.
Carlina White was just 19 days old when she disappeared from Harlem Hospital on Aug. 4, 1987. Police searched for her kidnappers but never found enough evidence to charge any suspects. Her mother, Joy White, always had a feeling that her baby was alive, her family said.
"I never gave up looking for her," she told the New York Post.
On Jan. 4, a woman known as Nejdra Nance, who was raised in Bridgeport, Conn., and now lives in Atlanta, contacted Joy White, sending along baby photos that looked nearly identical to shots of Carlina posted on a missing children's website. Nance told White she thought she might be her daughter.
Nance had long suspected that the people raising her were not her real family. After she found a photo of a familiar-looking girl on the website of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, she got in touch with the organization, which in turn contacted Joy White on Jan. 4.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A NOT SO GLAMOROUS POST, BUT I THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS INCREDIBLE AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU LADIES! I HOPE YOU FOUND IT AS INTERESTING AS I DID.
I saw this earlier on the news, I was so fascinated but kind of disappointed they didn't give more info on the kidnappers and how it all went about.
