Bizama said she spent five days with her daughter, holding and feeding her, before she was taken to an office a few hours away, forced to hand over her baby and sent on a bus back to her hometown.
Adamary Garcia is one of as many as 20,000 children forcibly taken and sent abroad for adoption.
Traced via her sister's birth certificate and then confirmed with a DNA test, Connecting Roots identified Bizama as Garcia's birth mother.
Thousands of miles away, Adamary Garcia - who grew up in Florida and now lives in Puerto Rico - knew she had been adopted but knew nothing about the circumstances.
Then a friend shared a story about Tyler Graf, a Texas firefighter who found out he had been taken as an infant during the dictatorship and had started an NGO, Connecting Roots, to reconnect adoptees with their biological families in Chile.
