US EditionSon stolen at birth hugs Chilean mother for first time in 42 years
- A 42-year-old lawyer, Jimmy Lippert Thyden, who was stolen at birth during the rule of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, has traveled to South America to meet his biological mother for the first time with the help of a DNA tracing service and a Chilean non-governmental organization.
- Thyden's journey to find his birth family began after reading news stories about Chilean-born adoptees being reunited with their birth relatives. He discovered that he had been born prematurely in Santiago and placed in an incubator. Gonzalez, his biological mother, was told he had died and his body had been disposed of.
- Thousands of babies were taken from Chilean families during the Pinochet regime, and Nos Buscamos estimates that tens of thousands of babies were victims of child trafficking. Thyden's reunion highlights the work of organizations like Nos Buscamos in reuniting adoptees with their birth families.
