'I love you mom': Crying 18-year-old reaches through barred jail window to hold hands with the woman who abducted her as a baby and raised her as her own, as her real parents prepare to meet her
Alexis Manigo burst into tears as she said goodbye to the woman she had called 'mom' for 18 years - the woman she just found out had kidnapped her on the day she was born.
For nearly two decades the world knew Manigo as Kamiyah Mobley, a newborn baby who was abducted from a Florida hospital by a woman dressed as a nurse.
Authorities said that woman was Gloria Williams, 51, who blew a kiss to Manigo as she waived extradition to Jacksonville, where she will face kidnapping charges.
'I love you mom,' Manigo told Williams as the two shared a moment, separated by a mesh screen in the Colleton County Jail in Walterboro, South Carolina.
Those police sketches so trash

I love you mom,' Manigo told Williams as the two touched hands between the mesh screen
She could also be heard crying 'Momma' through the caged window of a security door and told Williams she was 'praying for her'.
Just hours after police revealed that Kamiyah Mobley had been found, Manigo took to Facebook to defend her abductor.
'My mother raised me with everything I needed and most of all everything I wanted,' she wrote. 'My mother is no felon.'
The mystery of Kamiyah Mobley became a national sensation when she was stolen from her mother Shanara Mobley's arms at the University Medical Center in Jacksonville in July 1998.
Williams had suffered a miscarriage about a week before she drove the three hours from South Carolina to Florida and abducted baby Kamiyah, Walterboro Live reports
Jacksonville police said the teenager found out on Friday morning that the woman who raised her in Walterboro her whole life was not her real mother.
Within hours Manigo was able to reconnect over FaceTime with Shanara and her father Craig Aiken, who both cried 'tears of joy' after a detective told them their baby had been found.
Her family is planning to drive to South Carolina this weekend to reunite with the daughter they thought they had lost forever.
Tears of joy flowed freely for Kamiyah's biological parents Craig Aiken (pictured left on Friday) and Shanara Mobley (pictured right in 1998 after her daughter was abducted)
Kamiyah Mobley, now 18, was found alive and well in South Carolina on Friday living under the name Alexis Manigo
