Claudia Poblete and Pedro Alejandro Sandoval are two of the 133 “recovered grandchildren” of Argentina
Claudia Poblete can’t help it. On certain days, as she passes in front of a church, she automatically crosses herself while her children gaze at her with confusion. She didn’t raise them as Catholics — as she was — because her spirituality has shifted. In 2000, Poblete didn’t go by her current name.
“I carried a lot of responsibilities I was not supposed to,” said Pedro Alejandro Sandoval, who the Grandmothers found in 2004. He, like Poblete, kept in touch with his “appropriators” — the couples who pretended to be their parents — for years and didn’t embrace his biological relatives immediately. “It was not until the trial that I started to feel free,” Sandoval said. The searches of the Grandmothers began in different ways.
