Chilean American Reunites with Biological Mother After Illegal Adoption
Kyle Adler, a Chilean American, discovered he was stolen from his Chilean mother as a baby during the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Adopted by an American family, Adler was one of thousands of children taken from Chilean families. Thanks to DNA tracing and organizations like Nos Buscamos, Adler reunited with his biological mother, Ana Maria Navarrete, earlier this year. The reunion was emotional, with Adler expressing joy at reconnecting with his roots. The case highlights the widespread illegal adoptions during Pinochet's regime, targeting poor and Indigenous families.
