Personally, I see it in a similar light to an adoptive situation... while the biological mother may have given up her rights to the child, that doesn't mean that she didn't have hopes for the child to have a better life without her. No parent would ever wish such a situation as this to have befallen their daughter... and it must be killing her now to realise the big mistake that she made all those years ago. Perhaps being over there in person will give her a chance to find some semblance of peace, even if only to say goodbye to the daughter she never knew. I wish that she was being given a chance to do this without reporters, but perhaps that's the only way that she's been able to pay to be there. Either way, this can't be easy for her.
