"Please, bring her back," said Kristy Woods ^ at a press conference in Jacksonville, North Carolina. "She's my baby, she's my everything. Just to be able to touch her and hold her and not let her go again".
"I'd give anything," Ms Woods said through tears. She said Mariah has "walking difficulties" and that she was meant to be with her since Mariah was conceived after she'd had her tubes tied.
Family friends have told local media there was no sign of a break-in at the mobile home and that Mariah's two older brothers were at home at the time of her disappearance.
Police have checked with the girl's biological father, and confirmed he does not have her.
The sheriff's office has announced a reward of $2,500 for information leading to her safe return.

I'd like to know more about mom's live-in boyfriend and their relationship. Really hoping this one turns out better than the other reports of children going missing from their homes in the night.
