"Under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean state promoted international adoptions as a way to reduce poverty rates. Mr. Pinochet was not only a dictator, he was profoundly classist, and his administration sought to better Chile’s economic standing at the expense of the country’s lower economic class. As part of this goal, a national network of judges, lawyers, medical care providers and clergy members frequented churches, hospitals and women’s shelters to take babies from poor and Indigenous women, often single and marginalized." - By Jimmy L. Thyden Gonzá

Connecting Roots Nonprofit were the ones that helped me find my birth mom AND found out the truth surrounding my birth situation.
Finding out I was apart of a giant international child trafficking web certainly has done a number on my mental health. I was literally used as a source of monetary means that brought profit into the country of Chile.
I am a victim. That explains why I don't feel like I belong anywhere.
" According to Chilean judiciary reports obtained by The Associated Press, there were about 20,000 cases of criminal adoptions overall. But civil society organizations estimate there could have been as many 50,000 children and newborns trafficked out of Chile between the 1950s and the 1990s." Jimmy L. Thyden Gonzá .
My parents here in the US are also victims of this awful and evil scheme put in place by the President of Chile. They were 100% completely used as well. Not only that, but my birth mom was forced by her OWN SISTER to give up 4 of her 7 children.
Disgusting.
This is real. This isn't a joke or a ploy to get money. You are reading a post of a real person who has always felt.... unneccesary, as a human.
I have been given the amazing opportunity to be the mouth piece for other children from Chile to bring awareness to this vile and horrendous act by President Pinochet.
We are the Stolen Children of Chile and we deserve to be heard.
Please be a part of this Historic Search and donate to our upcoming trip in February 2025 to Chile to unite 5 babies (including me) with our biological families.

Hope you have an amazing time in Chile! I highly recommend video blogs and/or photographing your entire trip. I’m so glad I did last year to come back to the States and reminisce all the wonders Chile has to offer! Please treat yourself to Pisco Sours or Piscola (if you drink soda).
Sorry for late response! Good luck out there.
Good luck! I hope that you are able to find some peace ♥️
Ana, I wish you well on this journey of seeking the truth and finding about your birth roots. We are here for you and support you.
As a mother of adopted children, I know how important it is to find your birthparents and hear the story of why you were separated from them. I hope this trip heals every wound you have from the lifetime of not knowing who your bio family was.
