Mother-Of-5 Discovers Her True Identity And Learns She's Been Missing For Over 40 Years

Baby Holly has finally been found! A mother-of-five discovers her true identity and learns she’s been missing for over forty years.

More than forty years ago, a nomadic group of women dropped baby Holly off in a church. Holly then went up for adoption.

What no one realized at the time was this was the same baby who'd gone missing after her parents were murdered in cold blood.

Baby Holly Found After More Than 40 Years

Donna Casanata spent more than four decades praying for justice for her murdered son and daughter-in-law, Tina Gail Linn Clouse and Harold Dean Clouse Jr. But more than anything, she had hoped she would get to see her grand-daughter again.

In God’s perfect timing, Donna got a call on what would have been her son’s birthday. And that phone call was stunning and miraculous. Donna learned baby Holly had been found alive and well. Donna said it was “a birthday present sent from heaven."

"I prayed for more than 40 years for answers and the Lord has revealed some of it,” she said.

In fact, Holly was happy and had a wonderful childhood. She grew up, got married, and had five children of her own!

Even though there are still questions that need to be answered, the family of baby Holly is overjoyed she was found. And her inspiring true story is bringing hope to many families who have a missing child. No matter where they are, God is watching over them and one day they will be reunited either on this side of heaven or together in God’s kingdom.

May we hold onto the hope that we have in God that he will work all things together for our good and may we be reminded what the enemy meant to use for evil, God will use for our good. And in this case, we have hope. What an incredible story of encouragement as this family is reunited.
