To have loved and lost has its merits, especially for poetic types like JONI MITCHELL, but to have lost and found is still sweeter. Mitchell has been reunited with a daughter she put up for adoption in Toronto in 1965, when Mitchell was just 21 and not yet a folk-singing star. She went public about her desire to meet her daughter, now 32, last December, but because of Ontario's strict adoption-secrecy laws, she had a hard time finding the young woman. "Apparently her daughter was looking for her too, so there's sort of a fairy-tale ending," Mitchell's father Bill Anderson told the Associated Press. "Joni's as happy as you can imagine anyone being in these circumstances," says Mitchell's publicist. The Grammy Award-winning singer and her daughter have already bonded musically: they went to a concert together.
