WATCH: Mom, daughter reunite after 82 years apart
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
A video has been released on major international news outlets of a mom and daughter reuniting after being apart for 82 years.
"We'll catch up," says 96-year-old Lena Pierce in the video.
Pierce had to give her daughter up at just 14-years-old after she was deemed unfit to take care of her six-month-old baby.
82-year-old Eva May - who was renamed Betty Morrell upon adoption - has spent 50 years searching for her birth mother.
Morrel who is the first-born of eight children says she is thrilled she has a family again.
Last month, the pair reunited - after the original birth certificate was found and with the help of ancestry.com - at Greater Binghamton Airport in New York.
