99-Year-Old Woman Reunites with Daughter After 83 Years

|Updated:

A 99-year-old woman who gave her baby up for adoption in 1933 finally met with her daughter.

For more than 80 years, Eileen Wagner kept the secret from her kids, believing it was the best way to protect them.

Last month, Wagner got a phone call from her 83-year-old daughter. “Hello, Mother,” Dorien Hammann, her long-lost daughter, told her, reported the Chicago Tribune.

Wagner said her eyes filled with tears when she heard her daughter’s voice for the first time.
