  "I wondered if he was loved, if he was fed well, if he spent time cold." That's a mom for sure. 😭💔

  I'm from Chile. My grandma gave birth to her youngest daughter in the 80's and was hospitalized next to a woman who had also just given birth. They also told her the baby had passed away without letting her see him once. She says she still remembers that poor lady screaming and crying out that they had stolen her baby. It sickens me to think this could've happened to my family. I can't believe some people are still defending that dictatorship to this day

  I was adopted from Chile to Sweden when I was 7 years old. Unfortunately my adoption was not legal as my parents were taken from me and I was sold up for adoption. I have two identities and today I have found all my family. I reunited with my family in October 2022... ❤️It was a strong meeting with my mother, father and all my siblings ♥️

  I was born in Chile and my siblings were stolen from my mother as well.  Endured many years of looking for my siblings and I will continue my search. I am also the niece of  detenido desaparecido. whose remains have yet to be found. Our life has had many obstacles but one thing is for sure I look forward to finding both of my siblings and find closure on my uncle's case soon.

  I can't imagine the pain his mother must feel when they can't even understand each other because they don't speak the same language. What a terrible crime. What an irretrievable loss.

  I know this lady personally. We were friends for 5 years but lost contact. I know her story is true. Nothing makes me happier than the news that she met her son, finally! !

  breaks my heart. Pure evil in this world to steal people's children from them.

  The moment I saw the words "stolen" and "Chile", I knew what this was.  In some other cases, the parents were "disappeared" -- murdered.  This is a sad chapter in Chile's history.  I'm happy the man and his family were reunited.

  The way she always holds him is breathtaking. She’s never stopped loving him. ❤️
