Lost children of Chile
During the 70s and 80s,
between 8,000 and 20,000 Chilean babies
and young children
were adopted by families
across Europe and North America.
The biological mothers
were typically very young and very poor.
These adoptions
were part of a national strategy
to eradicate childhood poverty,
which the military dictatorship
hoped to accomplish, in part,
by removing deprived children
from the country.
International adoptions
had begun decades
before Augusto Pinochet took power,
but in 1978, promoting adoption
became the official policy
of the government.
Pressure on mothers
to give up their children increased,
and international adoptions surged.
To Alejandro Quezada,
the founder of the campaign group
Chilean Adoptees Worldwide,
the effect of Pinochet’s policies
was the “criminalisation of poverty”.
State power
was used against poor families
to prevent them
from raising their own
children,
and a climate of violence prevented
most mothers from resisting.
Not only were the victims poor,
many of them were also members
of the indigenous Mapuche community,
a group that has long been persecuted.
Under the dictatorship,
the precarious existence of these women
was seen as an obstacle to progress.
While there were few families
looking to adopt
brown-skinned babies in
Chile,
there was more interest abroad.
By sending them
to wealthier countries
Chile’s government “believed
they were saving these children”,
says Karen Alfaro,
a professor of history and geography
at the Austral University of Chile,
and an expert on Chile’s
international
adoptions.
But the larger goal,
according to Alfaro,
was rebuilding relations abroad.
Many countries had severed
relations with
Chile
after the 1973 coup
that overthrew the
nation’s
democratically elected government.
“The dictatorship promoted
adoption as a mechanism
to rebuild diplomatic
relations,”
Alfaro said,
“especially with countries
that had received Chilean exiles
and whose governments
were critical of human rights violations.”

3,000 people

In 2011,
developments such as the first ever inquiry
into the death of President Allende,
made exhibiting his work to the Chilean public
seem all the more relevant.
His exhibition
at the Centro Gabriela Mistral in Santiago
was shown in March and April of that year
