She was dubbed Baby Alpha Beta in news stories. Orangewood Children's Home later renamed her Baby Noel. She was soon adopted and grew up in a happy home in Orange County. She joined the military out of high school, was wounded and disabled in Afghanistan, and is now medically retired at the age of 26. Kayla Tovo never really wanted to find out about her birth mother until she had her son, who turns 6 this month. But still she waited. Then last year, she started her search and, aided by a DNA expert Cece Moore located her birth family.
