Hi,
We’re looking for a child who was adopted in June-July of 1975. Her name is Angélica Consuelo Melihuén Melihuén and was born in Chile August 7th 1973. She was taken by her mother by illegal means in June of 1975 in the city of Lautaro, region of La Araucania.
Any news would be really helpful.
Thank you.
