Gina was elated to see her dear girl once more, all grown up and established, saying it was a big breakthrough.
"It's sort of like a mini-miracle," she said, as reported by Daily Mail.
Judy, a retired teacher and mother of four, admitted that she thought she would never see her mum.
Family is important to me
She thought she was too late after two decades of unsuccessful search and almost believed her mum had passed away.
Judy used multiple genealogy sites and adoption registers to find information about her birth mother.
"Each time I wrote I wondered if my mother would open the letter. Time is running out or it may have already run out. I need to find her.
"Family is very important to me. It's like a big hug, really. You feel part of something and you can love something totally unconditionally. It makes me think about my birth mother and whether we could have had that same bond."
Over the moon
However, both reunited in Cannes, France, where Judy met three of her siblings, two of whom she never knew about.
"I'm absolutely over the moon," Judy remarked.
