A California doctor, alongside a nonprofit group, is helping reunite Salvadoran families who were separated during that country’s bloody civil war between 1980 and 1992.
“I got the news that they had found my biological mother and that I have a brother,” Fillingim said.
“She didn’t want to do that,” Fillingim said. “She felt threatened and needed to go through with the adoption.”The project has been abled to connect hundreds of Salvadoran children with their roots. In the U.S. alone, more than 2,000 adoption visas for Salvadoran children were granted during the war.The story of how Fillingim traced her roots, as well as the accounts of 50 people, were compiled in a book titled “Reunion." The book, authored by Barnert, chronicles the stories of pain and hope and serves as a source of inspiration for people to discover that chapter of their lives.
