Carlina White Finds Parents After 27 Years

A 23-year-old woman who was snatched from a New York City hospital as a 3-week-old infant has been reunited with her parents after tracking down baby pictures of herself on a missing children’s website.

Carlina Renae White was not yet a month old when she was kidnapped on Aug. 4, 1987. She had spiked a 104-degree fever and her worried parents took her to Harlem Hospital, where she was admitted.

Joy White, then 16, said a woman dressed as a nurse approached her in the emergency room and told her everything would be fine. Joy went home to rest. When she returned to the hospital, Carlina was gone. Authorities believed the “nurse” who had comforted Joy stole the baby, but they were unable to find any trace of the missing infant.

Meanwhile, a girl known as Nejdra Nance grew up in Bridgeport, Conn. As a teenager, she began to suspect that she wasn’t actually related to the the family who raised her. And she was puzzled that she was never able to get a copy of her birth certificate.

Finally, she began to do some research on the Internet and found the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s website. On the site, she found a photo of a missing baby named Carlina Renae White.

The center contacted Joy White on Jan. 4 and forwarded her a baby photo taken by the family who raised Nejdra Nance.

“I was screaming, I was so excited,” Joy told the Daily News. “As soon as I saw those pictures I said, ‘That’s my daughter.’ I saw myself in her.”

DNA tests confirmed Nejdra, who now lives in Georgia, is Carlina — the biological daughter of Joy White and Carl Tyson, who was 22 years old when his baby was kidnapped.

The person believed to have abducted Carlina is now being investigated.

Good for them! Hopefully she and her mom can begin the healing process.

  • Courtney

    I’m speechless. It’s so sad that she’s had to go that long without her real family. But finding them is truly a blessing. I wish her the best and I really pray that God has mercy on the people who done this. They’re gonna need it. What a crazy world we live in.

  • tessa

    I feel bad for the birth mother who was deprived of seeing her beautiful daughter become a woman.

  • Lilval

    Now that’s some good news and I’m so glad for her.

  • playmakers372

    I remember seeing her mother on a documentary crying about her baby! I’m soooo glad they are able to reunite!

  • MISTRESS MINAJ

    THATS THE POWER OF THE INTERNET, BABY…

  • get em paid

    Remain Open!

  • that damn sh#$ disturber

    i agree. it’s a good thing everything turned out ok compared to what could have happened to her…now i wonder how she feels about her kidnapper/mom???

  • Caramel Cat™

    I heard about this on the news this morning. That’s nothing but God at work. That girl knew something wasn’t right, and she investigated. This is proof that all things in the dark will come to the light…God bless her and her new found biological family…

  • Ms.EJ

    That would be an absolute nightmare if my daughter was to ever be taken and/or abducted. That is a pain that I would never ever want to experience. The year’s of torment and torture of the not knowing, mi.ss.ing holidays, birthdays and “first time moments” of your child. I am so happy that her mother was ble.ss.ed to be reunited with her daughter. I can only imagine the confusion, rollercoaster of emotions and mixed emotions this young lady feels towards the “family” who took her. I’m telling you some thing about the spirit guiding you and bringing one to truth. I’m so happy for her!

  • 7lady

    Can you imagine how many people out here with the same story? It’s got to be thousands.

    And how momma gone just leave baby at the emergency like that? Kids raisin kids. Smh

  • Ms.EJ

    @CARAMEL CAT- I know that’s right and Amen to that. Loving your gravi picture. How are you doing this morning?

  • Ms.EJ

    As you stated she was a kid and most times kids do “kid” things. Plus, it wasn’t like she left the baby with some stranger, she thought it was a nurse and even most adults trust doctor’s and nurses. It definitely doesn’t justify that woman taking her child.

  • Ang

    So true, it speaks to our perseverance and resilience though.

  • http://crownedroyalty.wordpress.com Uhh Yeah Ok

    Nice, I can relate. My biological sister found me last year :)

  • Ms.EJ

    *waves hell* Goodmorning and good for you! :) The same thing happened with my guy friend about two year’s ago with his brother.

  • Greeneyedbandit

    Praise GOD! She’s a beautiful young lady too,im so happy for her&her real family!

  • http://crownedroyalty.wordpress.com Uhh Yeah Ok

    Thank you, and G’morning and G’day to you too. Yeah, it was pretty crazy because she found me all the way from Africa through the Red Cross. It was a little weird (the emotions), I must say. Hard to know what to feel for someone you don’t know.

    God bless her i’m sooo happy she found her real parents.

  • thetruthisreal

    its good she was reunited however its also sad cause everything she thought was real to her is known now as a lie so , she may struggle with who she really is, for 22 years she was nejdra, now she is carlina, someone she knows nothing about

  • Kris

    This is an amazing story. It’s happy and sad all at the same time, she’s young so I pray that she now can start the healing process with her real family.

  • SMH

    goodness….imagine the person raising you your entire life is really just a thief who steals babies???

  • chocolatedeluxe1

    God is good!!! I love hearing stories like this…insyead of seeing pictures of Kim K

  • aweome-0

    a 22 y/o getting a a 16 y/o pregant, smh. she was probably better off with the other family raising her

  • really?

    This story makes me wonder how Nejdra was raised (and in Bridgeport of all places). I suspect she lived a hard life. If life was good, I doubt she’d be compelled to look for her parents even if she was suspect of the ones that took her. After all those years, it seems like that “unbreakable” bond was never formed. I wonder if she was treated well (and I’m not just speaking of financials) if she’d be willing to seek out the bio parents and risk her “new” ones going to jail…I don’t think they treated her will. Just speculation, can’t wait to see the outcome. Hope she finds happiness and that her biological mother/father are capable of being good to her. Bio-mom looked hard as rocks on TV this morning…can’t believe she’s only 39! Maybe that’s the stress of losing your child…

    amazing

  • !!!!!

    I REMEMBER SEEING HER MOM JOY ON TV A FEW YRS AGO CRYING AND CALLING FOR HER BABY TO BE FOUND AND I WAS HOPING SHE WOULD BE FOUND AND THAT SHE WAS OK AND ALIVE,IM SO GLAD SHES ALIVE AND WELL AND THAT GOD GOT HER BACK HOME TO HER REAL FAMILY :)

  • CAT EYES

    I am so happy the parents have reunited with her.I can’t imagine what they went through…God is good!!!I remember I was actually sitting and breastfeeding my oldest daughter when it came on the news that she was abducted and I remember looking at my husband and saying that i would never allow any of our children out of our sight.Honestly,this case right here is what made me cautious of hospitals.After that,when I delivered my babies,they had to be in the room with me,not in the nursery,couldn’t trust anyone..There’s always some barren witch that becomes a nurse….it was a scary time because technology wasn’t the way it is now..

  • Your Highness

    this is truly a good ending to a tragic situation…GOD bless her and her family

  • ReALiSt (WhAt iT dO EtHiOPiA??!!!)
