Sandra Mitchell ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Lord Letters (novel)|namedep=Welcome Home|page=90}}) had Adam in circa [[1992]]-[[1993|93]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Essay Competition (short story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (novelisation)}}) She, Adam, and her husband Geoff lived together in [[Adam Mitchell's home|their home]], which was, according to some accounts, located in [[Manchester]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=151}}, {{cs|The Time Lord Letters (novel)|namedep=Welcome Home|page=90}}) or by another account, [[Nottingham]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Essay Competition (short story)}}) or by one other, [[Milton Keynes]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dalek (novelisation)}}) | |||
When Adam was [[7 (number)|seven]] years old, he spent a year refusing to [[speak]] as an [[experiment]]. Despite the [[anger]] and pleading of his parents, and numerous [[therapy]] sessions as [[doctor]]s and [[psychologist]]s tried to understand why he was refusing to speak, he maintained it for the entire year and only decided not to continue as it would not provide any new [[data]]. He spoke again for the first time on his eighth birthday. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dalek (novelisation)}}) | |||
By early [[2006]], her husband had [[arthritis]], however she thought he had [[gout]]. After Adam won an [[essay]] [[competition]] hosted by the website [[Who is Doctor Who?]], she told [[Mickey Smith|Mickey]] that Adam was a "[[star]]" with [[computer]]s, though Adam [[wish]]ed he hadn't spoken to his mum. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Essay Competition (short story)}}) | |||
When Adam went to travel in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] in [[2012]], she believed he was still working at [[The Vault (Dalek)|Henry van Statten's museum]]. | When Adam went to travel in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] in [[2012]], she believed he was still working at [[The Vault (Dalek)|Henry van Statten's museum]]. | ||

After Adam had an implant in his head from the [[year]] [[200000|200,000]] (which, at the click of fingers, would open a small circle on his head, exposing his brain) and tried to send information from the future to the past, the [[Ninth Doctor]] abandoned Adam back at his house in 2012. Sandra returned, saying time flies "just like that", clicking her fingers, then watching in horror as her son's head opened up.

She [[died]] of a [[brain]] embolism shortly after Adam was returned to the [[21st century]]. Adam blamed her death on the Doctor, who had erased the information that he had gathered from the future that could have saved her, and began planning an elaborate plot to get revenge on him.
