On November 11, 2026, Teresita Padilla reunited with two of her sons, Tim Rolnick and Travis Murdoch, in Santiago, Chile, nearly 40 years after they were forcibly taken from her during the Pinochet dictatorship. Padilla, now 66, was able to embrace her sons, who were taken as infants and raised in the United States. The reunion was facilitated by genealogical research and DNA testing, with assistance from the Santiago-based organization Nos Buscamos. Authorities estimate that as many as 20,000 children were forcibly taken from their parents during the military government's rule, which argued that forced international adoptions would reduce child poverty. Padilla's eldest son, Alberto, who had stayed with her in Chile, led the search for his brothers but died before they could meet.
