Mother and daughter reunite after 82 years.
Town of Maine, NY (WBNG Binghamton) It had been 82 years since Lena Pierce had seen her first-born child—but Friday, Jan. 15 offered a reunion for the pair.
At the age of 14-- on Feb.11, 1933-- Pierce gave birth to a little girl in a Utica hospital. She named her Eva May, and cared for her for six months.
“She bathed her, and changed her diapers, and came to love her,” Millie Hawk, one of PIerce’s daughters, said.
After six months together, the state of New York took Eva from Pierce—citing she was unfit for motherhood at such a young age.
“There was a lot of times I worried about her and wondered where she was,” Pierce said.
