Ep39: Chilean Adoptees Worldwide


Listen Later

Chilean Adoptees Worldwide "CAW" was founded by Alejandro Quezada, Maria Angelica Martinez and Jessica Pincheira who were adopted illegally to the Netherlands, Sweden and Belgium. In the 70's, 80's and 90's a wave of children were leaving Chili through adoption during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Many of these children were not relinquished voluntarily. In the first episode, Maria shares her personal journey in heart wrenching detail. In the second episode, Alejandro and Jessica join us to share more about the life changing work they are doing. Illegal adoption and child trafficking are a global problem. "CAW" not only wants to bring justice and healing for Chilean Adopted People they also want to join hands with adopted people around the world to strengthen our voices. NOTE: Episodes do contain graphic descriptions of physical and sexual violence.
