LOS ANGELES: A woman who stole a baby from a Manhattan hospital more than two decades ago and raised the child as her own has pleaded guilty to kidnapping and will spend at least 10 years in prison.
Ann Pettway, 51, acknowledged taking the baby, just 19 days old, from Harlem Hospital in 1987.
The child, Carlina White, now 24, discovered the truth when she went on an internet website for missing children.
Pettway said she took the baby after having several miscarriages. She will be sentenced on May 14.
