When 42-year-old Jimmy Lippert Thyden saw his birth mother for the first time since he was snatched from her arms as a newborn, he wrapped his arms around her and wept.
When Jimmy Lippert Thyden met his birth mother for the first time since he was snatched from her arms as a newborn, he wrapped his arms around her and wept.
"It's been incredible. I liken the feeling to, like, finding a puzzle piece after 42 years," Thyden toldguest host Katie Simpson. "It's amazing how instantly I can feel like I fit in — like I've been meant to be here all along." "When she asked for my body, so she could have the dignity of burying her son, they denied her that as well, telling her they had disposed of it," Thyden said.
"People who were on the receiving end of the [adoptions], they were led to believe everything was on the up and up, everything was legitimate. And they believed they were paying for things like medical fees for the mother or check-ups for the baby or postpartum care, etc.," Thyden said. "The real story was these kids were stolen from poor families, poor women that didn't know ... how to defend themselves," Constanza del Rio, Nos Buscamos founder and director, told The Associated Press.
