A mother and daughter reunion took place 69 years after daughter's birth in Indiana.
Genevieve Purinton, now 88, who gave birth to Connie Moultroup in 1949 at a hospital in Indiana was informed her the child had not survived, CNN .
"Because she was an unwed mother, she was told that I had died. She continued with her life not knowing I was still alive," Moultroup told CNN.
Purinton's daughter, Connie Moultroup, was in fact alive and was taken to an orphanage.
