The current situation in Kati left Sandra very worried and she begged Norman, who was the fellow at the same time, for help. But it wasn't long. At Judy's instigation, Katti's biological mother, Stanti, insisted on returning her daughter to her home, and soon afterwards Judi took over the case. Sandra did a lot of work, even wanting to adopt Kati, but nothing worked, and had been barred from seeing Kati。
