Kidnapped woman Carlina White says finding real family 'a dream'
NEW YORK -- A woman who was kidnapped as a newbo 23 years ago says finding her real mother "felt like a dream."
The woman her parents named Carlina White told the New York Post that she became suspicious when the woman who had raised her could not produce a birth certificate.
The Center for Missing and Exploited Children helped her find her birth mother, Joy White.
Carlina was just 19 days old when she disappeared from Harlem Hospital.
She was reunited with her mother in New York on Saturday.
The Post spoke with the two women and Carlina's father on Wednesday.
Carlina White was raised in Connecticut under the name Nejdra Nance. She now lives in Atlanta.
