Kamiyah Mobley, now known as Alexis Manigo, is back in Jacksonville for a homecoming celebration.
Family and friends say hundreds are celebrating Mobley's return to Jacksonville after 18 years.
Mobley was raised in South Carolina and has been going by the name Alexis Manigo. She was abducted from a Jacksonville hospital in 1998.
Investigators said Gloria Williams, 51, posed as a nurse and abducted Mobley from what is now UF Health Jacksonville. Mobley was just hours old.
Investigators tracked Mobley and Williams to Walterboro, South Carolina, after several tips came in to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Williams was arrested and extradited to Jacksonville.
