96 Year-Old Woman Reunites with 82 Year-Old Daughter For The First Time

Eighty-two years after she was born to a teenage girl and put up for adoption, Betty Morrell finally has met her 96-year-old birth mother. Morrell was born in 1933 in the central New York town of Utica to Lena Pierce, who named her Eva May. Social welfare officials took the baby away because Pierce, then 14, was herself a ward of the state. #InsideEdition

That poor girl was never even given a chance to raise her daughter.

Imagine being a teen mom, losing your baby, then reunite with her when she’s a old lady
...

[lauralishes]

Not many people in their 80s would find their birth mother alive.

Just think, this woman hasn't seen her child since she was a baby and now she's seeing her as an old woman for the first time since she was a baby

[cactipoke]

it must be so weird to lose a baby and then when you see her again she’s an old lady

[jamesdillon]

The mother stayed alive so her child no matter what age could have the joy of meeting her I just know it

It sucks she lived 82 years without her real mum and only just found her, they wouldn’t have much longer together :(

Longevity runs in this family. They’re both so lucky.

"Long years have gone by.. but we'll catch up." I'm in tears 😭so beautiful

"She was 14 when she gave birth."

For the people that’s so confused of why her daughter is 82 is SHE WAS A TEEN MOM

[kiyam]

they basically kidnapped her. taking her child away just because she’s underage is just.. 😐

[desertguy]

Can't believe the daughter was 82 and found her mother was still alive, crazy

Sad news:

The older woman died months after she found her child.
She died on October 22nd, 2016

I’m disappointed by how many people disliked this heartwarming video.

Child is abused by parents at home, pleads for help, shows up bruised to school, shows signs of trauma, and ends up getting murdered:
US social services: *i sleep*
Teen mom has a child but decides to take care of it and love it despite her young age:
US social services: *NOW THIS IS AN AVENGERS LEVEL THREAT*

"We'll catch up" that broke my heart

[teddy-xjyk]

Oml she gave birth a 14 what a brave teen not many people could go through that

[melaniemae]

Why is everyone so pressed in the comments about how old the mother was when she had the daughter ..? It was normal back then to have children early, and rape was a thing as well. My aunt had her first child at 13, her second at 15, and she is an amazing mother. Don’t judge people unless u know them lmao.

i really thought the thumbnail was two old women fighting
