NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who was kidnapped as a newborn 23 years ago says finding her real mother “felt like a dream.”

Carlina White was just 19 days old when she disappeared from Harlem Hospital in New York. She tells the New York Post that when the woman who had raised her could not produce a birth certificate, she became suspicious.

White was raised in Connecticut under the name Nejdra Nance. She now lives in Atlanta.

The Center for Missing and Exploited Children helped her find her birth mother, Joy White. They were reunited in New York on Saturday.

The newspaper spoke with the two women and Carlina’s father on Wednesday.
