"Days of Our Lives" viewers have watched Maggie Horton become a mother figure to many Salemites over the years. However, she's also raised plenty of her own children. In 1976, Maggie and Mickey learned that they were unable to have biological children and decided to adopt. They eventually adopted Janice Barnes (Martha Nix), but Janice's biological mother Joanne eventually won custody of her (via Soap Central). Shockingly, Janice was killed by the Riverfront Knifer in 1988, per Soaps.
Later, Maggie decided to try artificial insemination to have a child. She later gave birth to Sarah Horton, but it was soon discovered that Sarah's real father was Dr. Neil Curtis, who had used his own specimen during the procedure, per Soaps in Depth.
Shortly after giving birth to Sarah, Maggie and Mickey adopted another young woman named Melissa Anderson. Melissa later moved away from Salem in hopes of achieving her goal of becoming a dancer (via Soap Central). After sustaining a career-ending leg injury, Melissa moved to Nashville and tried her hand at being a singer. Her sister Sarah later followed her to Tennessee.
However, one of Maggie's most interesting children has to be Dr. Daniel Jonas (Shawn Christian) who came to Salem as an adult only to find out that Maggie was his biological mother.
