Connecting Roots Adoptee Reunion Trip To Chile

In February 2024, Connecting Roots will be traveling to Chile with several adoptees for a reunion with their biological families. They were all adopted to the United States as infants and this will be their first time traveling back to the country of their birth after finding out that they were stolen from their biological mothers and trafficked out of the country in a sinister scheme carried out under the dictatorship in the 1970's through the early 1990's in Chile. Under the regime of dictator Augusto Pinochet thousands of babies were kidnapped from poor, vulnerable women and sent for international adoption. With the help of Connecting Roots, the adoptees learned the difficult truth about their adoptions and have been reunited with their biological families over video call. The adoptees, mothers, fathers and siblings all long for that first physical embrace and reunion now more than ever. The adoptees also want to connect with their roots, heritage and culture, which was stolen from them at a young age.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to offset the travel expenses of the trip for the adoptees. Also, some of the adoptee's family members that live in other parts of Chile will be traveling to Santiago to greet their son or daughter at the airport. Connecting Roots will be covering any expenses incurred with travel to and from their home. Your donation will help fund these travel costs and hotel stays and make it possible for them to have that first embrace they are longing for. Any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause!
