A DNA test and an ancestry website have helped end a family's agonising search for answers.
BBC News, Washington
Melissa Highsmith, 53, was abducted by a babysitter from her home in Fort Worth in 1971 when she was just 22 months old. As the search went on year after year, Ms Highsmith - who went by the name Melanie Walden - was unaware that anyone was looking for her. Initially, she thought the family's efforts to contact her through Facebook were a scam.
Ms Highsmith and her parents met for the first time on 26 November. In the Facebook post, the family said that they conducted "further official and legal DNA testing" and are awaiting "official confirmation for the naysayers in this world".
