 Timing  plays a very important role in life and that’s why I felt I was ready to write and release a song about my past. 

ONLY CHILD was written for the CHILEAN ADOPTEES WORLDWIDE who had their Basic HUMAN RIGHTS taken/stolen from them, under the Dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. 

I was one of those children adopted out in 1981, only ever knowing what my parents had been told - that I was ABANDONED by my mother.

Placed in a nursery by my biological mother who signed abandonment papers because the only support system she had, was telling her to give me up, that she had nothing to offer me. 

Only Child is for those who have suffered loss and pain, for those who have been reunited with loved ones and for those who are still searching.

I hope this song helps create some awareness Most IMPORTANTLY, I hope that we can put an end to Illegal Adoption and Child Trafficking not only within Chile but throughout this world.
