There’s nothing better than a hug from a mom. 💕
That hug was beautiful!!!! And the balloon idea was such a very thoughtful and heartfelt way to express their love for him. Very touching story
That's the best mother-son hug that any mom could ever have. His mother declined comment on this story but the image of her embracing her son is all that is needed.
1:25 How sweet! He said "Hola mamá", hello mom.
Im glad he got to meet his mom a momma is a very special person there just isnt enough words to describe them
His “Hola Mamá” broke me 🥺
Found my birth Mom by taking a DNA test back in 2018. Talked to her in 2020. Met her in 2021.
how did that go
@lolbots very well. Met also half brother and his son. One younger full sister died. On the paternal side, have 3 half sisters and a half brother. Identified 21 first cousins. Not all talked by orders of their parents. Still talk to my birth Mom. She learned to play piano very well by ear. Can't read music. She explained I got my math and verbal ability from her dad. He was super smart.
I can't stop watching that hug between mother and son. I've played it over and over again. God Bless them.
This is just ridiculously beautiful. I'm so happy for them.
Wow! What an amazing organization! After 42 years found mother and family within 42 days. May they be able to spent many years getting aquatinted. Many blessings for this new found family and history. The name of the organization means found lost. Buscado, at last!
I can’t believe how evil some people in this world are….it disgusts me what was done to these families
Thank God it turned out for the best!!
this sort of thing happened all the time during the american backed dictatorships, like argentina, guatemala, etc
This is the tip of the iceberg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_abuses_in_Chile_under_Augusto_Pinochet
42 years is long period.😢
Mother is long life enough to wait for his return.❤
Wow wonderful this organization should recieve millions of dollars to help more families.
Very good news. Tears of joy listening to this story news. Blessings
Han sacado mis lágrimas y no es muy fácil que esto ocurra, gracias a Dios por permitir este reencuentro y sanar las heridas que personas sin escrúpulos causaron, gracias a la familia adoptiva por dar todo por su hijo que también les pertenece.
So beautiful! Praise the Lord he was reunited with his mother! God is good! Amen! 🙏🏼
I’m gonna cry🤧😭😭😭😭
I have a 1 and 3 year old son. I can’t imagine hugging them the first time when they are adults 😢
So happy for Jimmy and his mom and closed ones, they will surely make for the time lost. All of Latin America had brutal dictatorships in the 70's, Pinochet's Chile was pure terror. May we never see those times comeback ever again.
😢😢😢no words…but I have friend here in California who told me the doctor told her her baby died but she heard him cry and saw him. She never saw him again. If we think this only happens in other Countries, we are foolish. Greed is everywhere.
Human trafficking. A healthy baby with desired traits can sell for $50000+. The human trafficking industry in the USA, the 'adoption' industry is worth $25 BILLION in 2023 alone? That is not holy, noble or beautiful, it is pure greed selling human being for big profits hidden behind privacy. Someone is making big profits. I'm truly sorry for your friend's loss.
She never filed a case to open an investigation?
She was very upset and didn’t think the doctor would lie to her.
You're right, I saw a documentary a while back about a doctor Thomas Hicks from Georgia who sold over 200 babies in the 50s and 60s. He would convince the women to put the babies up for adoption and in some cases he stole them and told the women their baby had died.
You should tell your friend to do a DNA test and post it on the genealogy websites, if the baby survived and was adopted he may be trying to find his birth family.
Ni perdón ni olvido. Me alegro muchísimo por Jimmy y su(s) familia(s).
This brought tears to my eyes ...
So happy for all of them ❤
Once i am done crying i will start getting VERY ANGRY this happened to his biological family.
Thank goodness he went to a wonderful adopted caring family
When he said “Hola, Mama.” I lost it. 😢😢😢
Beautiful!!!
All of them have been robbed.
It is a miracle they are making the best of it.
God’s judgement will come to those that go evil like this out of greed
It wasn't greed, it was malice. A lot of the affected families were part of leftist political parties and groups that the regime targeted. Pinochet was far right.
There is no God. Whatever justice we get, we have to get it for ourselves.
This is a beautiful story but gosh darned so much bad still exists.. thank you for posting a good story instead of all other junk. 👍🏼
An incredible history, the love a o mother dies never!!! The chilean state will never can made this atrocities up!. All the support for Jimmy!!!!
En momentos de crisis hay aprovechamiento. Eso pasó en Chile: la complicidad de personal de salud de hospitales y una fundación de dudoso origen que crearon una red para cometer este crimen. Las familias que adoptaron pagaron sin preguntarse el origen de estos bebés. Por otro lado el país que lo recibió es gran responsable de lo que ocurrió en Chile hace 50 años y lo financió como parte de su afán en controlar la Guerra Fría. Los gobiernos le llaman casualties a todos los afectados por sus rivalidades ideológicas. Me alegra que se hayan logrado encontrar pero nadie les devuelve los 42 años ni el sufrimiento de su madre.
The breaking of the 42 ballons was beautiful and powerful.
Im born in 1981 this is crazy
🙏🙏🙏
I started crying at the balloons part.
Wow that’s crazy. I have hope that one day my family can find my sister who we also believe was a victim.
I'd wish he didn't give her the flowers yet. I wanted their hug to be closer. NOthing between them.
😢😢😢❤❤❤
Amen ❤️👍
Oh Dear God.
North and South America, two beautiful countries ❤❤❤😊
This brought me to tears. 🙏🫶❤️🥲
It's a beautiful reunion, but how do you get back 42 years? This is happening on an even larger in Ukraine and it's not fake.
Giving thanks to Dr Pius is something I will always take personal because he brought me back to my full health!
I'm sure the same is happening in Ukraine
You mean by the Russians…
Yes.
It is, Russia is stealing children from occupied territories
❤💯
It’s sad about the ones who will never get to know the truth 😪😪😪
😭 😭 😭
I just don't believe that you get away with doing things like this and other horrible acts. Ivam not religious but I don't believe that you do these acts and there's no consequences. I hope they all live(d) miserable lives.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Can I assume he was taken from his father too??!! It's like he doesnt exist.
His father either wouldn't know of Jimmy's existence or knew and didn't care as Jimmy's mother was a young, single mum which was a big no-no in Pinochet's Chile due to the strong influence of the Catholic Church.
@@Tazza81yup
Well his mother was the on he was taken from and told he was dead. She would be the most important in the story to highlight…
@@Tazza81how did you know she was single young mom? Every news article says his mom denies to given an interview, which is understandable :(
He also might have been kidnapped or murdered during the dictatorship, or could have died since.
Sounds like something straight from Days of This Life or something...
Jai Mata di.❤
Why was he taken?
For finance purposes. They sold him to a family in the United States 😞
🇵🇭😭💗
flipping heck is there anything America doesn't steal 😮
Sick
Destroyed 42 years of his life...did he have bad adoption...if a good life then why 42 years wasted...
How could this even happen? How very cruel. I thought midwives and doctors were meant to be trustworthy.
Yep, DNA testing is important. Opportunities and blood are two different things.
Gr8 organisation.
😢poor woman
Ugly crying rn
This happened during the right wing dictatorship of Pinochet, who stayed in power for decades, killed thousands, and was fully supported by the United States of America in the name of "freedom".
50k that was not a business it was and still a political movement
Move them all north we are creating a new race that look all the same
Man all my momma ever told me is that I was adopted from the zoo 😅😂😂😂😂😂 I honestly don't think she was lying cuz I'm a animal lol😅😊😊😊😂
We all are animals we are humans
It's crazy how he survived being in a pot of hot chili.
These onions, you know men don't cry😢.
I wonder if someone could tell this man that if his family was unable to survive and tried to come to the USA that they should be detained and sent back🦾
