One father's joy was another father's heartbreak, after Charles Manigo learned that the girl he raised and believed to be his own daughter for 18 years was really another man's child.

"I named her -- a name I had for a year. Alexis Kelli," Manigo said. "She was the love of my life."

But what Manigo didn't know was that his former girlfriend, Gloria Williams, had allegedly snatched the girl from a maternity ward, and lied when she told him she'd given birth to the baby when he was away. The girl he called Alexis was really Kamiyah Mobley.
Woman Abducted 18 Years Ago as a Newborn Found Living in Another State

Mobley's biological father, Craig Aiken, was overjoyed that she'd finally been found, and said that all those years he and her biological mother would celebrate their daughter's birthday every year and imagine "how it would be if she were here" and "what we would do if she came came back," he said Friday, after officials announced that the girl was now returned to her birth parents.

"I love her," Aiken said. "I'm glad to see her. I love her."

Mobley grew up in Walterboro, South Carolina, thinking that Williams was her biological mother, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said Friday. He said that she now appears to be a normal 18-year-old woman in good health.

Gloria Williams, 51, is in jail, charged with kidnapping for allegedly taking the newborn from a Jacksonville, Florida, hospital on July 10, 1998.

Manigo and Williams raised her from the time she was a newborn, sharing custody after they split up in 2003, and celebrating milestones together, like her prom, he said.

"The person she called dad for 18 years isn't her dad," Manigo said.

Williams was charged with kidnapping at a bond hearing on Friday in South Carolina. Bail was denied and another bond hearing will be held once she is extradited to Jacksonville, Florida, according to the sheriff's office.

"One of the hardest things she said on Friday was, 'Dad I love you,' even though she knows what's going on," Manigo said.

"I talk to her every day," he said. "The attention is overwhelming to her. She's still processing everything. It's a shock to me, it's a bigger shock to her."

Manigo said that even though he may not be Kamiyah's biological father, he will always be there for her.

"She's still my child," he said. "I understand what's going on, but she's still my child."

These hoes ain't loyal

The woman is evil and wicked. She deserve to be in prison 4 life

Thank god he knows, millions of men out there don't know they have been nurturing another man child. some will even died without knowing that, that child they adore so much is another man issue.

She stole a baby to keep her man abi? She's very wicked

It's wickedness to give a man's child to another man.
A lot of men are unknowingly raising another man's child.

Maybe because I have strong genes,I can't understand how people will look at a child for many years and not 'figure' this child may not be theirs.

okay. maybe you look like your dad.

Everyone doesnt.

Yea,I know the mother's genes may be dominant but the child must pick some things from you as the father that you can tell.
I know someone who doesn't look like his father but walks like him.

and don't you think it's a habit he adopted from his father?

Every child with a healthy relationship with their parents learns to do things like them. It's something they learn without knowing they learnt it.

I use to walk like my dad till I got teased in secondary school that I walk like a man, I had to adjust.
and I think the reason why I walked like my dad is because he is my only parent.

My point is, you can't judge the Paternity of a child with things like that.
It's not plausible.

This child in question never lived with his dad.The mother got pregnant and relocated so he didn't learn it.Every mallam with him kettle sha.
That woman that will bring a child and say I'm the dad will try.
