Another provided the name of a biological mother and her address. Chilean officials say the number of stolen babies could be in the thousands, but the country’s investigation into the controversial adoptions has languished. He’s happy to finally know his true origins but sad about what his biological mother went through. After three agonizing months, he was finally able to travel to Chile to give his biological mother the hug that had to wait for 42 years.
