In January 1983, Amanda's parent Joe Jones wrapped her in a blanket and put her in a trash can near the Prado business center in Atlanta, Georgia. A stranger (or strangers) saved her, she ended up in a foster family, where she still lives. Now, 36 years later, Jones is not looking for his biological parents, but his guardian angel.

“I want to thank whoever found me because he changed so many lives by being in the right place at the right time,” Jones says.

Jones knows only snippets of her life story, gleaned from old newspaper articles and the faint memories of her 68-year-old parents, Kay and Wayne, who adopted her at age three months. “They were told something about a dumpster,” Jones says.

On the subject: After 20 years after the disappearance, a woman found a daughter with a new name and her own children.

The couple raised Jones and her adopted sister Stephanie in Palmetto (Georgia) and never hid any details about their childhood.

“My mom read me a book called Adoptive Families, which gave me a lot of information,” Jones said. “I kept asking questions, and by the time I was 6 years old, I realized that my mother did not give birth to me.”

Since Georgia’s adoption records are closed to both the public and the adopted, Jones knows little about his birth. She may apply to the district court for the opening of documents, but she lives two hours away in Atlanta, and it is difficult to find files that were not saved electronically.

What is known is that Jones was taken to Northside Hospital, where the nurses named her Jen Winter because of her birth month and season (January and Winter). “[Abandoned children] are called Jane Does, and staff often want to assign an identity to them,” Jones explains.

Two women run the Jones case: Sandra Milholin of the Fulton County Department of Family and Children's Affairs and Detective Joyce Vaughan of the Fulton County Police Department, whose LinkedIn profile claims to be retired.

Having paid 35 dollars for a letter from the Georgia State Adoption Register, Jones received non-identifying information. A week after birth, Jones was taken by the family until the age of three months, during which they allegedly named her Crystal-Alicia Fairchild.

Then Wayne and Kay took custody, and then adopted her after her first birthday. They renamed the girl Amanda Joe.

Jones and her husband are the proud parents of a 9-year-old son, a 3-year-old daughter, and a 10-month-old son. But news in June rocked her life: The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office in Georgia found a bloodied newborn girl, still with her umbilical cord, wrapped in a plastic bag in the woods.

Hospital staff called her "Baby India." The baby is reportedly in a foster home and has a long list of adoption proposals.

“I saw this kid on TV and I wanted to adopt him,” Jones says. “One less child will grow up feeling lonely.”

Jones paid for two DNA tests and hired a special search agent to find out the identity of her biological parents, uncle, cousin and cousins.

Reuniting with her biological parents did not help. “I still forgive them and hope that one day they will reach out to me and heal me from this pain,” Jones says. “I can’t imagine how keeping a 36-year-old big secret affects someone mentally and physically.”

The main goal is to find Jones' rescuers. She recently made a poster that read: “I am trying to find the person/people who potentially saved my life... if you have any information please contact me at [email protected]" Jones posted it on Facebook in hopes that people would write to her with any information.

“I would like to have first-hand information about what happened because it would make my life easier,” Jones said. “I hope one person reads this and says, 'Oh my gosh, here she is!'
