today is supposed to be a very important day for the country. during the dictator years lots of people were “disappeared.” some of them were pregnant and when they gave birth their children were secretly adopted by military or government or other important people. las madres de plaza de mayo march often in plaza de mayo. these are the mothers of the people that disappeared. a database of DNA was created with their DNA so that it could be matched with other DNA of suspected children of the disappeared were found. so far about 100 children (well theyre a lot older now) have been found, but there are hundreds left. two people who are the adoptive kids of a media superpower in argentina have always been suspected to be kids of the disappeared but they always refused to get a DNA test. today they went to hospital Durand (where I work) and did it.
