Patty initially wanted to keep the baby and raise her along with Prue, Piper, and Phoebe, however, in those days, it was not only forbidden but unthinkable for a witch and a Whitelighter to be romantically involved. By this time, Patty and her mother, Penny, had known for at least two years that Patty's daughters were destined to become the Charmed Ones; witches destined to be bestowed with great power and the duty to protect the innocent. Penny feared that the Elders would deny the girls their birthright if they ever found out about Patty and Sam's affair. Patty and Sam decided to give the baby up for adoption.
