Sara Melgarejo reunited with her long-lost children after 40 years, highlighting a larger issue of illegal adoptions in Chile where babies were stolen and sold.
Illegal adoptions in Chile involved a network of individuals including social workers, faith officials, health professionals, and legal authorities, with babies being taken from parents who were told they had died.
Mothers in Chile faced coercion, misinformation, and denial of access to their babies, particularly from vulnerable communities, contributing to the widespread family separations.
The reunion between the siblings and their mother was emotional, marking the first time they could express love physically after years of being apart due to illegal adoptions.
