By Elizabeth Simpson | The Virginian-Pilot For the first few weeks, she was called Baby Sylvester. Not a very feminine name for a blue-eyed girl with delicate hands that waved from a cloud of blankets. So the girl's foster mother started calling her Mariah. A few weeks later, Moira Smith, the foster mom, stood quietly at a news conference while TV and newspaper photographers focused their cameras on the baby, just a couple of weeks old. Police and social workers told the media they needed help finding the girl's mother, who'd abandoned her at a Norfolk hospital. Come forward, they asked. They didn't want to prosecute the mother; they just wanted to make sure she was all right, and they wanted medical information about the baby. Larry Hill, spokesman for Norfolk police at the time, held the baby for a few minutes and asked Moira if she had any children of her own. The 33-year-old woman explained she'd had three miscarriages and two tubal pregnancies. No, she didn't have a child. But she'd like one. Feeling bad about maybe stepping on a sore spot, Hill reached over and squeezed her hand. Maybe this one would be hers, he suggested. It was a small moment that went unnoticed by most. In the years to come, the little girl's name, Mariah, stood fast. The foster mother's wish to adopt came true. And 17 years later, the two would find themselves asking the same question: Who brought Baby Sylvester into the world? Continued on page [thorn]
