The very same grandchildren they identified are ready to carry on the search. They initially called themselves “Argentine Grandmothers with Disappeared Grandchildren” and later adopted the name used by the international press: Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. In 1980, after almost three years of tireless search, the Abuelas managed to identify the first two stolen grandchildren, Tatiana Ruarte Britos and her sister Laura Jotar Britos. Since then, it has been in charge of resolving the filiation of the children stolen during the dictatorship. Together with Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and Nietes, Guillermo and Esteban are searching for more than 300 grandchildren who, just like them, are now adults.
