Kyle Adler, a Chilean American man adopted by a U.S. family as a baby, has reunited with his biological mother after learning he was allegedly taken from her during Chile's dictatorship, one of thousands of cases tied to illegal adoptions under Gen. Augusto Pinochet's regime.
According to the Associated Press, Adler was adopted by an American family when he was 9 months old and raised in an affluent Chicago suburb. He later discovered that his birth mother, Ana María Navarrete, had not voluntarily given him up. The reunion took place in Chile earlier this year after DNA testing confirmed their relationship.
