You’ve heard touching stories of reunions between birthmothers and their children who were adopted.  But this one will stand out in your mind.  Betty Morrell was adopted into a wonderful family, but her parents died when she was in her twenties.  A slip of the tongue while speaking with an aunt changed Betty’s world.  She found out what her birth-name was and where she was born.  But still, her search came up empty.  Fast forward to the present when Betty’s eighty-two years old.  With the assistance of an online company she finally found her mother’s name.  Lena Pierce is ninety-six and still living!  What a remarkable and joyous reunion.  Lena was only fourteen when Betty was born and the state took her away.  As for Betty, she said, “My life is complete.”
