Woman reunites with birth mother after forced-adoption scandal Updated: 12:26 PM EDT May 10, 2024 Infinite Scroll Enabled A Baltimore woman who recently learned she's one of tens of thousands of Chile's "children of silence" was reunited with her birth mother.Cara Miranda, 35, has always known she was adopted from Chile. Until recently, she and her adopted family had no idea about the corruption behind her case until an organization called Nos Buscamos helped her figure it out."Becoming a mother has really shaped me and made me think a lot about my roots and my adoption, which is what led me to this search," Miranda told sister station WBAL.Miranda said she is at the center of a decades-long adoption scam carried out in Chile under a dictator's reign in which children were stolen at birth and trafficked worldwide to be put up for adoption. It's now under investigation by justice officials.Miranda reunited with her birth mother, Oriana Aristondo Rosas, who said she was coerced into giving her daughter up at 3 months old."She said, 'I memorized your face, and you look exactly the same.' So, she remembered me all these years," Miranda said.Jimmy Lippert Thyden González said Nos Buscamos discovered his adoption paperwork leads back to the same scandal. The group alleges that from 1973 to 1990, the regime took children from vulnerable young women and sold them to adoption agencies."She tells me, 'The people involved in your case are the two most notorious traffickers in Chilean history,'" González told WBAL.González's birth mother, María Angélica González Cuevas, said she was told her son died shortly after birth."There's coercive adoptions, there's forced adoptions and then there's just stealing of children," González said.Now González, a lawyer and retired Marine, is working with the nonprofit to help reunite more families and hold those accountable for decades of counterfeit adoptions."In a few weeks, I'll be returning to Chile, to Santiago, to work with a firm. We're going to be filing our case starting to look for justice in this. And, for the first time, we're going to have our own voice in seeking justice," González said.

Advertisement ✕ How much to spend on a graduation gift, according to an etiquette expert Remember: It's a thoughtful gesture, not a requirement. Updated: 5:12 PM EDT May 9, 2024 As the end of the semester draws near, graduation season kicks into high gear with end-of-year celebrations marking the end of one life chapter and the beginning of the next. If you've been invited to attend a graduation or after-party, you may be wondering exactly how much to spend on a graduation gift — or if one is even required.“Graduation gifts are not to be expected, so any gift given is a generous display of love, support, and recognition of the graduate's accomplishments,” etiquette trainer Courtney Opalko said. “While welcomed, should not be demanded or expected by the host or honoree.”For those who do want to commemorate this celebratory time in their graduate's life with a special present, here's what to consider when determining how much to spend on a graduation gift.How much should you spend on a graduation gift?Because graduation gifts are seen as nice, but not mandatory gifts, there is no minimum price point. Because of this, you can gift following what your finances allow.“When it comes to price ranges for graduation gifts, I recommend spending within your budget and matching the significance of the program completed,” Opalko said. Meaning, that the amount you'd consider gifting a middle school, high school, or college grad is flexible, but should probably increase as they get older (and become more independent).Another thing you may also want to consider is your relationship with the graduate. “A grandparent, aunt or uncle, or close family friend may be comfortable spending more than a casual friend or neighbor,” Opalko said.What are the best gifts for college graduates?Graduating from college is a significant milestone, and unless the grad is pursuing a master's degree or taking time off to volunteer or travel, they'll be in job-hunting mode very soon.“Traditional gift ideas include professional items such as a dignified pen or briefcase, fine notebook, business card case or leather portfolio,” Opalko said. A college graduation gift should be at the top of your budget range since you're helping them put their best foot forward in their professional life.As an alternative, you can browse their college or university's bookstore (most have their own websites) for some fun merch to send them off with. “Commemorative alumni gifts such as a lapel pin, jewelry, cufflinks, or a tie clip are great options for college graduates,” Opalko said.What are the best gifts for high school graduates?High school graduation can be an incredibly bittersweet time, as graduates are leaving friends and classmates they may have spent nearly their entire lives with to embark on their next phase. For them, Opalko recommends gifting them a memento of school spirit, “such as a sweatshirt, tie, hair clip, tote bag, or blanket” as a reminder of their hard work and the bonds they forged while in school. You can search online to see if their high school has its own merch or even commission an engraved gift from Etsy with their school's name and year of graduation.Alternatively, a high school graduation gift could be a nod to their favorite extracurricular activities. “A gift that reflects the student's interest or participation related to a favorite sport, organization, or hobby can also be a unique way to commemorate their accomplishment,” Opalko said.If you're at a loss because you don't know the student that well, but you want to support them in their next chapter, just ask. “If you're unsure of what to buy the graduate, it's ok to reach out to the parent or a sibling to ask for ideas,” Opalko said. They may have dorm room necessities or a group gift that you can contribute to.What are the best gifts for younger graduates?Preschool, kindergarten, elementary school and middle school graduations may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but they can be very sweet and emotional ceremonies, especially for the young graduates' parents and caregivers.If you're invited to attend one of these events and choose to give a gift, it can be a great way to make the graduate feel special while wishing them success in the future.“For kindergarten and middle school graduations, a contribution to the student's college fund, along with flowers or a small commemorative gift, is a wonderful way to recognize their achievement,” Opalko said. How much should you spend on a graduation gift? What are the best gifts for college graduates? What are the best gifts for high school graduates? What are the best gifts for younger graduates?
