- Every mother would like to think it's their child, whether they looked like it or not.

[laughs] And I think that's what my mother wanted so bad.

Well where, oh, okay.

Barbara now 31, Mrs. John Froman lives with her husband and two daughters in Richmond, Virginia.

She probably has a third child by now.

Her mother said, "We always believed the Christmas child to be Barbara.

There's no doubt about it."

And everyone has their story.

I mean there's what, 17 little girls here and there's quite a few stories.

[gentle music] - She had Jenny in '67 when she was 19 and me did in '69 and you in '71.

So by the time she was 23 years old, she had three kids.

Granny Jo died and then Memaw died and they had the newspaper clippings of the little girl like a couple of years, like two or three years of when the little girl's picture was printed in the paper.

And then that's when mom had said, you know, "They always thought it was her."

And then, because that was in like around '90, I think that was, and then in '93 was the "Louisville Magazine" when she went to the store with you and Jenny and Joseph Beth and saw the magazine.

And she goes, "That's the picture, that's the, you know, the little girl, that's me."

And she never said, you know, I should tell 'em it's me or anything like that.

She was just, matter of fact, that's me and you know, Memaw and Granny Jo always thought that was me.
