Reunion in El Salvador

During El Salvador's bloody war in the early 1980's, many babies and children were kidnapped and killed. Some were put in military orphanages and eventually sold to adoptive families throughout the world. Since then, however, some of the survivors have been searching for their families and loved ones, sometimes with success. On April 3, Suzanne Marie Berghaus, born in El Salvador but raised in Wilmington, Massachusetts, located her long lost family with the help of Asociación Pro-Búsqueda, an organization working to reunite children and parents separated during El Salvador's Civil War.
