"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.
