  • Val Werner, an adoptive mother to a Chilean adoptee in the United States

    In this episode we are welcoming Val Werner, as an adoptive mother to a Chilean adoptee living in the United States.

    Val talks about the desire that she and her husband had to adopt a baby and how they involuntarily became victims of adoption fraud in a corrupt system. Through this episode, Val is giving a voice to her disabled son, who cannot speak, about his irregular and illegal adoption.

    In summary; Val states that there are many questions that will probably never be answered. What happened that caused Andy's brain damage; how did Telma Uribe partner with the American Adoption Agency? Did the agency know that it was adoption fraud, and many more questions...

    Regardless of these questions, Andy is greatly loved and has impacted the lives of many people, without ever saying a word.

  • CAW Invites adoptees: Mirjam - Part 2

    In this 2nd episode we are welcoming Mirjam, a Chilean adoptee, again to continue her story.

    She was adopted to the Netherlands which appears to be one of the very first to be adopted in 1972 from Chile. Her very religious adoptive parents were found not to be fit to adopt by the Dutch Child Protection authorities. However through various private Limburg Catholic orders, they still managed to get around the system and were able to adopt her.

    In the search for her roots, Mirjam connected with the International Social Services (ISS) who advised her to connect with a Dutch nun and her sister, who was in charge of an orphanage in Santiago de Chile and that they also could help with family reunions. After a sum of money was paid, the Dutch nun agreed to help her and connected her to a family in Chile.

    20 years later through DNA it appears that the family she was connected to, was not her biological family…

    In this second part of her podcast, she explains about her ongoing fight for justice.
