Claudia Victoria Poblete Hlaczik, kidnapped at eight months during Argentina's military dictatorship, believed her caretakers were her biological parents. In 2000, a court-ordered DNA test revealed a shocking truth: a 99.99% genetic link to her biological grandmother, leading her to question her entire identity. She later learned about her true heritage and the impactful role of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, a human rights organization dedicated to finding the grandchildren of the politically disappeared. This discovery has been part of a broader quest to reunite families torn apart during the dictatorship's abduction campaign.
"I felt like 'Alice in Wonderland' through the looking glass - almost everything I'd been told about my identity was false and turned on its head."
"When the court-ordered DNA test arrived, I was surprised, but absolutely sure it'd come back saying they were my real parents."
