NEW YORK - Twenty three years after being snatched from a hospital crib, a New York woman has discovered her real mother.
New York tabloid reports on Thursday pictured a beaming Carlina White with her real parents at the end of an extraordinary journey.
White was just 19 days old when she was abducted from a Harlem hospital to be raised in Connecticut by a woman claiming to be her mother, the Daily News reported.
Throughout her childhood, White had doubts, the New York Post reported. She was beaten by her so-called mother, a drug user.
Then, around Christmas time, she called a hotline at the National Center for Missing Children, saying simply: "I feel like I don't know who I am."
Investigators soon matched her to the unsolved 1987 case and, after a DNA test, she and her real family were reunited.
"I'm overwhelmed. I'm just happy. It's like a movie. It's all brand new to me," she told the News.
