After 37 years I doubt there is any pain. The guy is not the baby she once saw, and she did not have the baby long enough to have so many memories linked to it. The guy is now a different person and has nothing chilean in him. He is an american, with his own family and country. This kind of mess happens everywhere and in different shades. To give you and example I came to find out my dad wasnt my dad at the age of 54. My mom was doing the husband of the niece of the man I thought was my dad. Now everything makes sense of course. Mothers are people like every body else, they lie, deceive and there are lots of them in jail too. The little chilean lady sooner or later will come to realize the guy she touches and think she loves, is not the baby she so much misses and should move on. As you say, this is an irretrievable loss.

@@stilldontknowmyname2295 Are you Moslem and Arab? If so perhaps you can find the biological parents (at least the mother and her family) for a baby boy that was abandoned on May 20th, 1985 on Midan Ramses (main railway station) in Cairo, Egypt. May 20th, 1985 was the first day of Ramadan. The baby was found by a man, a male employee of the train company. The man took the newborn, healthy baby to a nearby sort of health centre (next to a church). Sadly, this health centre handed the baby to a wet nurse who was paid around 55.00 Egyptian Pounds per month to look after the baby. She had many kids of her own and treated the baby abysmally. Within a few days the baby was near starvation and his little bum was raw from the urine and feces. To cut the horror story short, an Egyptian man (a chemist, Dr.phil.) and his German wife adopted the baby in June 1985. The baby thus was saved at the last minute from a horrible death. Within a few weeks the baby started recovering from the very good care the loving adoptive mother gave the baby. The baby is a grown-up man now who lives in Europe but is anxious to find his birth mum, in order to ask her WHY she abandoned him at Midan Ramses 36 years ago. As well, he is so anxious to find out if he has half-siblings.

@@StellaLive-le9hf Thanks be to you and the other commenters here for the humane generosity of all of your most kind words and wishes. I've spent many years dealing with and overcoming the events which punctuated my childhood and through the learnings gathered during my endeavours in securing an adequate personal criminal justice response, have for some years now worked in providing probono specialist legal advocacy to other Survivors of similar crimes, a sacred role that I am blessed to undertake which also gifts me some measure of additional therapeutic benefit. Due to my childhood circumstances and the identity of the relevant offender I was forced to fight an 11-year battle against a co-ordinated campaign of criminally prejudicial corruption on behalf of my State's Police, Public Prosecutor, Statutory Corruption Bodies and many politicians who were attempting to prevent the criminal investigation and prosecution which after many years of very engaged treatment, I so very much needed to be able to finally begin to put the events in question behind me. Rather than prosecute this person however, these agencies, led by the Chief Commissioner's office of my State Police force, instead elected to engage in a sustained 8-year campaign of bastardising behaviour. This included, but was not limited to repeated threats of physical assault, death threats, unsolicited nuisance welfare checks to my home, nuisance phone calls, the filing of false and vexatious criminal charges, an attempt to have me detained and indefinitely incarcerated in a mental health facility and declared a 'fixated terrorist threat' with the intention of either provoking a violent response upon my behalf or when that failed to 'sheep dip' me as a person of poor character and all of which failed. It is estimated that these agencies expended in excess of $2M in taxpayer funds in an attempt to deny me justice and protect the child molester who destroyed my childhood and rendered me profoundly disabled. As for family, I don't have one of those as I have been estranged from my adoptive family for many years now and am indeed despised by them, both for having 'abandoned' them and bringing my abuser to justice as I finally succeeded in doing in 2021 when he was convicted of the scores of charges that were filed against him and described as potentially the worst domestic child abuse offender in my State's entire legal history. My childhood torturer finally died several months ago and is now in Hell for eternity where he belongs. The last words I spoke directly to him 32 years after the last time I had seen him were at the sentencing hearing which followed his conviction were from Matthew 18 v 1-7- At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. "If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! Stay safe and be blessed there always.

I wasn't stolen, but I was given up for adoption at birth. I lived a very good life with the best parents. I always wondered about my mom. Then I did a DNA test at a popular family thing. Two years later, I got matched with my mom! We talked right away and then I flew out and stayed with her and her family for two weeks. It was the most beautiful thing. She was told I had died in a car wreck when I would've been 19. I thought that was so incredibly sad but I made her laugh because I've never even had a ticket! I was able to celebrate my 50th Birthday with her! She said it was the only Birthday of mine she didn't cry. She caught Covid and died shortly after. That was the toughest thing I went through up to that point. What a joy though, that I got to have her in my life for even just a few years. Both families are born again Christians, so I believe I'll see her again some day. One of the touching memories is when my mom got to talk to her over the phone and she thanked her for me. I don't think I've ever cried like that before. What an adventure. My life is a show on Hulu!

It happens in this country all the time, in family and juvenile courts. In fact, it is happening all across western society. There are many, many grieving parents. It is a business of counties because they get federal funding and they get taxes and licensing fees off all the players who are used to manage and advise in these cases. Often protective parents lose custody of children to their abusers, whether it is sexual, physical or psychological abuse or all of the above. Lawyers for the parent with the means buy custody as even that is adversarial, in the injustice system: A win or lose system. Also, no matter how long you have been married, the minute you are legally separated you are adversaries financially and there is little penalty for hiding finances from your ex even if those funds would also benefit the children more likely when used by the parent who wasn't hiding the finances. Attorneys have rigged the system this way. Children suffer. Government at the lowest level is now more likely to be perpetrating the worst abuses because most people are unaware and uninvolved. The courts try to give everything to the financially well off parent, particularly if male today, including the children and extremely expensive supervised visitation is ordered for the other parent if any contact at all.

You could go to a Spanish speaking country and understand everyone in one city and no one in the next, yet it’s all the “same language” or a territorial difference of the same language.

Thank you for sharing. I am an adoptee from Guatemala to Canada. This story has happened to over 50,000 children from Guatemala during the civil war. Many were stolen or given up because of rape or poor living conditions. Many of us are also only now finding biological families. It’s also cool that Tyler and I share a common passion, we are both firefighters. Cheers to Tyler.

This makes me cry and gives me a sliver of hope. The same thing happened to my mom in Guatemala. She saw her baby girl once and the nurses whisked her away. She kept demanding to see her baby and they told her she died. My grandmother demanded the body be given to them for burial. The doctor said they buried her already... this was almost about 12 hours after birth. They refused to return the body and no way in hell did anyone believe she was buried so quickly. She was fare skin, light hair and grayish eyes. Her father had blue eyes and both my mom and her father are fair skin. I've taken various dna tests in the hope I can find her. My mom is 81 and still talks about her. I believe 100% she was stolen and sold. It's not every day that a fair skinned Guatemalan gives birth to a white baby. Rumors are that most of the fair skinned babies were sold to Europeans.

He’s always grown up knowing that he was adopted at birth so why would he feel any differently?

I wouldve given my life for my son only god knows, if someone wouldve taken him from me? I wouldve searched the world to find him. Today, hes 50 yrs old a grown man with 2 sons.

I had to work full time to keep myself, pay the legal fees, cover costs & fares etc for my son. Then local government decided to put him up for adoption. I opposed this in court with no lawyer & won. Brought him up with no financial or other help from his father till he left school at 18. He married his penfriend from America at 22, had a son & daughter. Then, without warning, they went to live in America. I paid for us to visit each other but then he cut me off & I don't even get any answer back from him or his children - I found out about my g-g-dtr by chance. He's always been cold, hard & bitter but I did all I could for him. I love & miss him but he's so bitter I wonder sometimes if adoption may have suited him better, if only to justify his bitterness.

I rather dislike the "what a beautiful video" comments because it's not beautiful to me. He called it an atrocity! It's horrifying to think of my own daughter being kidnapped and the hospital telling me she'd died at birth. Sheesh, I wonder what his adopted mom felt seeing him call his bio mom his mother.

Some adoptions were also coerced in the USA, primarily by churches, families, and agencies, not the government. Mostly earlier in the 20th century, 1950s, 60s, 70s. International adoption became more popular partially because fewer babies available in US: increased access to birth control/abortions, etc. Women were more able to get jobs and support selves as single parents too. Another example - adoptions were aggressively coerced in Ireland. See 'Philomena' book and movie.

Two governments-Chile & USA. Heck even more, Canadian adoptees from Central & South America, probably European countries too. Some churches thinking they are helping people born into poverty, others engaging in the selling world children for pure greed. It’s become apparent to me that the greatest sin humans commit is GREED.

These things are happening as we speak in Eastern Europe. If you have been adopted in the last 30 years from Bulgaria, Serbia/Yugoslavia, Romania etc now is the time to check the story of your adoption and find your ancestors. You might be a stolen baby.

I can identify with him. Also adopted and reunited with my birth family. I'm happy he took the time to search and find them. It for me completed a missing piece of a hole that I had in my heart.

@@ilovemintt It was a much bigger plot where the US played a key role in kidnapping and trafficking hundreds of children in Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil during the Us backed dictatorships. Many thousands and their families were imprisoned, tortured, killed by authoritarian (but capitalist) governments that received assistance the CIA and US state department on how to oppress and destroy political opposition. Till this very day the crimes against humanity committed during those decades are point of internal conflict and political instability. The US has caused too much harm to millions around the world

My grandfather was a Firefighter during the take over of the dictatorship. He told me they used drag out bodies from the river because they were killing people left and right for swatting out the "communists". He told me the neighboring building had police come visit and some people never came back and disappeared. One day they knocked on my grandfather's door and asked him about the people he was around or friendly with he managed to send them away. However they came back looking for him but by the time they did he and my family had left to come to the US. They had to travel from Chile to Mexico on foot and faced many hurdles and harsh natural conditions. Once they made it they came to VA were my family has lived. Now they are all citizens and retired workers. I'm proud and also very lucky to know about my Chilean origins and history. I'm also glad my grandfather was there to help people in need while facing the tragic take over. Since then he has always held a deep respect for the firefighters and volunteer squads both here and in Chile. I also had another relative who was one of the people who had pulled Allende body from La Moneda after it was blown up. Truly amazing history.

Fascinating story ... your grandfather was lucky and smart . Can you tell me how soon after they came to his door to question him that he got out of there ? Did he have to sneak out in the middle of the night ? Do you recall him saying how long it took just to get to Mexico ? I know I'm asking a lot of questions because it sounds like a really interesting story ?

This is so heart breaking. Only a few months before I married, my husband lost his daughter to adoption coercion. The loss of my step daughter, my childrens' sister, has been the most painful thing I have ever endured. My mother also lost custody of my brother and she is a wonder mother. I have watched her pain over the last couple of decades. The pain never leaves, it only changes how you deal with life. I can not imagine the pain of losing your birth child in this way. This really is a trigger for me and breaks my heart.

The thought of losing your newborn baby to death and living with that lie for 40 years then finding out your government lied to you and your baby was alive. That is something this family will never get back watching this baby grow his first step his first words his achievements becoming a man. That is a lot to overcome but this man was blessed to get the adopted parents that he did and their truth always in the open. It is with God's grace that they were brought together again they have so many years to make up for. The freedom we live in our country is taken for granted by all of us. May God bless this family and give them all the time in the world to become that family they should have been all the time. Wouldn't it be nice if one of these airlines gave him an open ticket to go visit his mother whenever he wanted to make up for the 40 years without her.. we all know first responders do not make a lot of money and that trip cost a lot of money. ❤️🙏❤️👩👧
