But Joy White says she understands why her daughter, who lives in Atlanta, would want to continue her relationship with the people who raised her. She says that’s all her daughter knows.
Ann Pettway of Raleigh, North Carolina, is being held without bail on charges she kidnapped Carlina in 1987. The FBI says Pettway took the newborn after her own efforts at childbearing failed.
