She Sounds different, Thought – Her Puerto Rican Spanish with Miami Idioms Contrasting with Her Bioological Family's Distinctive Chilean Accent.
“We were all kind of looking at each other and not saying Much,” Garcia said, recalling the first time they spoke over zoom. “Looking at my mother's eyes and saying, 'this is the person that Gave me life and, oh my God, I look so much like like her'.”
Then, Last Week, Came a Tearful Meeting in Person at the Airport.
Garcia was one of five adoptees connecting roots brough to chile this year, the fourth reuniting trip the ngo has done.
Graf says the government is supported of the ngo's actions, but the group's goal is more Pragmatic Than Political, Aiming to Reunite as Many Families as Possible Before it's too it's too.
“These mothers are gotting older, some of them have passed away,” Graf said. “So we're in a race against time.”
Usually the adoptive parents had no idea of the circumstans in which their babies were taken, he said. Garcia said her adoptive parents were very supportive of what she was doing.
Now She is getting a crash course in chilean slang, cuisine, music and culture, and plans on Taking a trip through patagonia with her Sisters and Making Chile a bigger part of her life.
“It's been non-stop laughs and tears,” Garcia said. “I think this is a moment that helps everybody get closure on things that have been happy 40 years ago and at the same time begin to set set asyships that are going to last a lifetime.”
