Jimmy Lippert Thyden, a lawyer with two children, began his search after reading about other Chilean-born US adoptees who found their relatives Jimmy Lippert Thyden, a 42-year-old lawyer with two children of his own, began his search after reading news stories about other adoptees who’d been reunited with relatives through the help of non-profit Nos Buscamos.
In a heartbreaking clip of the moment he met his biological mother, Maria Angelica Gonzalez, for the first time, Mr Thyden can be heard to say ‘hello mum’ before breaking down in tears and embracing her. He told the Associated Press: ‘It knocked the wind out of me… I was suffocated by the gravity of this moment. ‘How do you hug someone in a way that makes up for 42 years of hugs?’
He also recalled his mother’s first words to him after they made contact prior to their meeting: ‘My son, you have no idea the oceans I’ve cried for you. How many nights I’ve laid awake praying that God let me live long enough to learn what happened to you.’Hospital workers took him from his birth mother and placed him in an incubator, and Ms Gonzalez was later told her son had died.Unaware of his true origins, his legal parents later adopted him in the US, raising him in Arlington, Virginia.
