      Horrible crime, yes - but Kamiyah was born into horrible circumstances - bio mother did NOT have any support - she was 15 and HOMELESS when she got pregnant by a pedophile who was in JAIL at the time of birth for other crimes. They got a huge settlement from hospital - otherwise they were unstable and a mess of a situation to have an infant enter.

      She lied to herself. she told herself babygirl would be better with her then the bio parents (dad in jail mom 16) after she took the baby I think it started spinning and she knew if she gave the baby back she would be in the trouble just the same. I have sympathy for kaymiah/Alexis she must be so confused. I have sympathy for the bio family, there isn't a guide book and there feelings are valid. As a women who hasn't had any live births, 4 miscarriages and a mental break after the first one there is no excuse to do this to someone.

    As hurtful as it sounds, I understand why she said she wishes her daughter was never found. It’s a really tough situation when you’re trying to build this relationship with your daughter and she still has so much love for her kidnapper and refers to her as “mom” instead of you. I can’t imagine how hurtful that must be for her. It’s almost as if it feels better making peace with the fact that she’s gone and may or may not be alive than trying to make peace with the fact that they’ll never have that mother/daughter connection and she’ll always have that with her kidnapper. God bless her 🥺

    I had my first baby in 99 at 22. She was born with two toned hair. The nurse was so amazed, she felt it was OK to take her out of the room to show other people. There I was in stirrups, getting sewn up. As my baby, I have yet seen is being walked out of my sight. Luckily my husband was there and I made him follow her. For 20 minutes I had no idea where my baby was! I can't even imagine the panic of this young mother for all those years. I experienced it for 20 minutes and almost lost my mind. Thankfully they no longer take the babies out of the rooms. Unless it's for medical purposes.

My (now ex) husband was useless and I was SO tired after labor and delivery I had no choice but to send my son to the nursery. Those nurses were SO open and transparent with me, showing me their IDs, working in pairs, bringing me down to the nursery to see all the babies and the secured doors that would keep my baby safe.

I hope when that happens, she chooses to strengthen her relationship with her mom, cause I feel like finding Alexis, and her still calling her kidnapper "mom", has had to break Shanora's heart all over again.

I remembered a lot of people used to accuse the family of Kamiyah. About a year after her kidnapping, I would see Kamiyah's birth mother, out at different stores, and she would look so lost and disheveled😞 I'm glad that she finally got reunited with her birth family, but it's such a strain on Kamiyah, having to take all of this in..finding out who raised and loved her, was her kidnapper. I just wish peace and prayers to everyone impacted🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    It's messed up that the police used so many resources trying to make cases against the biological parents, instead of putting all their resources into finding Gloria and Kamiyah sooner. Kamiyah had to figure it out on her own, and take the action that led to her getting found. Our legal system really needs to rethink their priorities.

    Kamiyah/Alexis will understand the depth of pain her mother went through when she has a child. We can imagine what it is like but never understand until we are a parent. When I was 12 my brother passed away from SIDS when he was 4 months old. My mother had a breakdown, began using and totally neglected her two living children, we were eventually taken into care. I was so resentful for years. I could not fathom how she could be so devastated by the loss of a child she barely knew to the extent of abandoning us. When I had my first son at 20, the second he came into this world, I thought of my mother and immediately understood her pain. Obviously, I could never fully understand but in that moment I let go of the resentment and rage.

The immeasurable pain she caused that child, by having to find out the person who raised you needs to go to prison for literally ripping you from your actual parents.

If that baby leaves the hospital before mother and baby are discharged and the tag is disabled, alarms will sound and the whole hospital will be in lockdown until baby is located.

      I feel for you, Lauren. The nurses and doctor were like that when my first baby was born… I was only 20 and didn’t know how to stand up for myself yet. Finally after 4 hours!!! they still hadn’t brought her back. By that time my epidural had worn off enough that I could walk down to the nursery. I never chose to have a hospital birth again, home is much safer.

    The kidnapper has that child for the rest of her life - not just the 18 years. Those parents and the child will never have reconciliation. And yes, I totally understand the birth mother wishing the daughter had never been found. The birth mom is grieving a daughter who is still living, yet she can never have. I have similar situation with two sons alienated from me by a stepparent. It's a special kind of hell only death will relieve. It's been almost twenty years and it gets more difficult every passing year. I get this woman's pain. No punishment is enough for the perp. Yet that punishes the now grown child. So what to do?

      My ex-husband abducted my daughter when she was 16 years old (we had 50/50 custody). He and his wife, who had just gotten a promotion that required relocation, moved her across the country. She "ran away" aka home, to me, over Thanksgiving break, telling me she didn't want to go back to live with him. When I attempted to fight for her in the courts, he was on the next flight here and his narcissistic sociopathic self sweet talked the judge (whose entire demeanor *completely* changed the moment that I started describing my ex... once the word "controlling" came out of my mouth, I knew I lost him. His ex wife must have called him controlling at some point, because he took it SO PERSONALLY, but I digress.) into letting him take her back that very day. After these years, though she hates her father for ripping her away from her family and school and friends, the only life she had ever known, it is where she graduated, works at a job she loves, has a wonderful boyfriend, etc. she has fallen in love with that state. He robbed me of those years and I haven't been able to forgive him for it.
      He was rewarded for abducting my child, I only hope that karma (aka God's vengeance) catches up with him, not only that, but that I am allowed to be a witness to it. I wish that for you too Honey.

To see Shanara so broken, sobbing & pleading for her baby safe return all over the local news channels, was so traumatic.
    Then, when the baby couldn't be found, Shanara was later accused of selling the baby, or murdering the baby SMH. They were grieving & ppl thought they were liars. Shanara NEVER gave up hope about finding her baby. My heart broke for them. Our city changed a lot. I'll never forget it. Then, the subsequent damage Gloria's actions caused Shanara, Craig, their families & the alienation of her daughter...

I was thankful they had them just in case, but now I’m realizing what people probably had to go through to get those monitors in place, like the people in this story.

    Poor Kamiyah, I understand why she will still love her kidnapper she is the one who has been her ‘mother’ for her whole life. I didn’t know that my Dad wasn’t my bio father until I was 10 and my bio father wanted to meet me. He left me when I was 9 months old and emigrated to Canada. So to find out my ‘Dad’ was my stepdad I was devastated! He was my Dad even though we weren’t blood related. When I met my bio father I knew it hurt him that my stepdad was who I loved more than anything and I didn’t connect to him the way he wanted. It’s so confusing as you try to build a bond but it’s so difficult because the person who gave you love and support from a baby is the one you want in your life. Kamiyah’s bio parents how heartbreaking must it be for them to know that their baby loves the woman who kidnapped her and is struggling to build a bond with the people who loved her unconditionally for 18 years even though she wasn’t in their life. It’s just so awful! Gloria deserves her prison sentence as she has given Kamiyah and her parents a life sentence due to her wicked deed! You can only hope that maybe with a bit more maturity that Kamiyah can build the relationship with her parents that they all wish for. 💚💚
