Biography
Faith Newman is the daughter of Nicholas Newman and Sharon Newman. She has two older sisters Cassie Newman, Summer Newman and one older brother Noah Newman.
Years before she was even born, Nick and Sharon's late daughter, Cassie Newman, prophesied the birth of little girl. Nick had a child with Phyllis Summers, whom everyone thought was the little girl for a while, before Sharon became pregnant. Although she knew that the baby was Nick's, Sharon lied and said that the baby was Jack Abbott's, because she wanted Nick to focus on he and Phyllis's daughter, Summer, who had been poisoned. However, it wasn't long before the secret came out.
Nick's brother, Adam Wilson, accidentally caused his stepmother, Ashley Abbott, to miscarry. He made her think that she was pregnant, however, but worried that the truth would come out. Meanwhile, after suffering from blackouts, Sharon went to a psych ward, and so did Ashley. On September 30, 2009, Sharon gave birth to a healthy baby girl that was soon snatched by Adam and given to Ashley. Sharon and Nick believed that their baby was dead, when in fact she was being raised right under their noses.
When Faith was about 6-months-old, Phyllis became suspicious of Adam. She found that he was blackmailing a doctor, the doctor who delivered Sharon's baby, and the one who died after fighting with Adam. Phyllis also discovered that he wrote a note about Ashley's baby before he died. She put the pieces together and showed it to everyone. After a while, Ashley agreed to a DNA test, and tearfully gave her up when it showed who Faith really was.
Sharon ended up falling in love with Adam, which worried Nick. He decided to sue for full custody of Faith to keep her away from Adam. The judge turned him down, until Sharon was arrested for Skye Lockhart's murder. They went to court and fought it out, but Sharon ended up having to give up Faith.
