Tyson did not return a message Monday seeking comment, though in September he complained that she had told him to go through her attorney if he wanted to speak to her. He said he was offended and would not.
As for Pettway, White states she probably wouldn't visit her in prison but plans to communicate with her in the future. Navigating this all with her 6-year-old daughter, Samani, is especially hard, she says.
Pettway used to take Samani trick-or-treating and would send cards to her in Atlanta. She doesn't know the story. I just say she's on vacation. More News.

As recently as the s, when I was growing up, I remember hearing Polish jokes, about how dumb Polish people supposedly were. This was typified by Archie Bunker, who would constantly refer to his son-in-law as "a dumb Pollock.
The first is that Poland was invaded, partitioned and wiped off the map for years, from the late until the treaty of Versailles, at the end of World War I.
American love a winner, and militarily speaking, Poland was definitely not a winner. The second reason why some people might erroneously make a connection between Polish ancestry and mental illness is because of two high profile people.
A woman named Anna Anderson, real name Franziska Schanzkowska, was the most high profile of all the Anastasia imposters--women claiming to be the child of Czar Nicholas II, who supposedly survived the Soviet execution squad. In reality, this woman was quite mad and was repeatedly institutionalized as "a danger to herself and others.
So I am sure that a lot of people bought into the prejudice of the day and were easily persuaded that there might be a linkage between Polish genes and mental instability. Again: While I agree there was a lot of Polish prejudice in the 60s, 70s and even the 80s, the institutionalized bit came from my daughter having epilepsy.
But I agree, her APs might not have been so quick to put me in a nut house if I had the same heritage as they did. Not Polish. Hi Lorraine, I thought about this post after watching the movie 'like father, like son'. I don't know if it has been released in the US but I found it excellent and very moving. Wether you would agree with it, I don't know, but I'd be interested to hear your opinion.
It's not about adoption or child kidnapping, but about an exchange of babies at hospital shortly after birth, and what happens when the families are told about it 6 years later sorry, difficult to explain without spoiling it! My mother signed a note to her Welfare case worker. She was tricked into giving her the baby until she got her life in order when my mother was My sister found us in Our blog, our decision whether to publish.

The girl who was abducted in from a New York City hospital and raised by another woman as her own in Connecticut? After "Nejdra Nance"--the name she grew up with--was pregnant herself at sixteen, she needed her birth certificate to get aid for pre-natal care, but her mother was elusive about it.
Netty--the name she went by--eventually found a paper she thought was her birth certificate, but it turned out to be false. She knew something was wrong but when Netty confronted Ann Pettway, the woman who raised her, Pettway told her that her mother was a crack addict who deserted her and never came back.
It was a lie, a lie that would take years to unravel. Seven years later, after looking through pictures at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Netty she found a picture of a baby that looked startlingly like her own daughter shortly after birth--and everybody said how her daughter looked just like her!
The rest of the story is that yes, Netty was that baby, she had been abducted from Harlem Hospital by Ann Pettway, and raised as her daughter. Lifetime eventually did a movie about the case and what happened after, Abducted: The Carlina White Story , which was re-run a few months ago when The Baby Thief first aired.
I taped it at the time but didn't watch it until a few days before Christmas when everything else consists of reruns and sing-along specials. Lorraine What is striking throughout the aftermath of the reunion is how closely it hews to what happens in a reunion after adoption: joy and elation, the welcome of a "lost" child to an entire family; the strangeness of it all to the reunited child, now adult, who has conflicted feelings; the frequent opportunities for misinterpretation of gestures, or the least gift from a biological parent; the overwhelming emotions the reunited child feels towards her real family; the sense of belonging and guilt towards the family she was raised by and in; and, with good graces and willingness, finally, perhaps, a sense of finding your own place and identity, an identity forged by both biology and environment.
Netty feels more like me. The name that feels most like home. I've seen so many cases of adoptees who change their names legally to either what it would have been, or to a combination of, as well as reunited adoptees who keep trying out different names to see what feels right. Sarah is the name I would have given my daughter if I had raised her. Fellow blogger Jane chose another biblical name, Rebecca. In rather bizarre way, Sarah is connected to adoption, something I was unaware of at the time.
Carlina's reunion with her birth parents, who are divorced, took place at LaGuardia airport on Saturday, according to the Post. She said to me 'Dad, don't start crying. Joy White was not available for comment, but her other daughter, Carlina's biological sister, echoed her grandmother's sentiments. When they got the results of the DNA test, that's when I was really happy because there were no more doubts in my mind," Elizabeth added.
