Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, a human rights group that strives to locate children stolen and illegally adopted during Argentina’s “Dirty War,” announced that they have found Grandchild #119, a 38-year-old man named Mario Bravo.

Bravo was one of hundreds of Argentine children who were taken from their parents during Argentina’s military dictatorship, which lasted from 1976 to 1983. When Bravo learned that he is one of the stolen children, he immediately sought out his biological mother.

As the Buenos Aires Herald reports, Bravo, who was raised in Santa Fe but was born in Tucumán, was able to actually embrace his biological mother.

The unidentified woman was pregnant when she was kidnapped and taken to a secret detention center. Speaking to local media, Bravo explained that his biological mother had two daughters at the time of her kidnapping, one of whom was taken to an orphanage while the other was looked after by neighbors.

The woman, who was held illegally for around two years, gave birth to her baby while in captivity. Bravo relayed that his mother did not ever get to see him, as she was wearing a hood during the delivery.

“I only heard you screaming,” she explained to her son, “I did not know if you were a boy or a girl. I just heard you screaming.”

“She has always been waiting for me,” Bravo said. “As a father, I understand how she feels.”

According to the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, as many as 500 children may have been kidnapped during Argentina’s military dictatorship.

As The New Yorker reports, when the late Argentine leader Nestor Kirchner took office in 2003, he made members of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo celebrated figures in his government and nominated Estela de Carlotto, the organization's founder, for a Nobel Peace Prize.
