'It was hard to wrap my head around': Sweet moment as 90-year-old mom meets her 70-year-old daughter for the very first time.
Elizabeth Pullen of Lafayette, Louisiana, had a daughter when she was 20 years old. It was a secret she kept her entire life. In those days, if a birth mother was going to place her child for adoption, she was not allowed to meet the child.
"I thought maybe she was a cousin. I wasn't placing her as my aunt," Leblanc told"Good Morning America." Leblanc left her mother's house and later that day, got a call from her grandmother."'Lynne is my daughter,' she said. 'Get her on the phone,' she said, 'I've been waiting for 70 years to talk to her.'"
There were practical reasons for the"first look" as well as artistic ones."My grandmother cannot see very well, I wanted to be able to see her face to be close up to her,. If she [Lynne] was coming from across a field, I knew she could not run to her. I thought she might pass out and if she does, Lynne would be there to catch her."
