Olivier Delacroix goes to the Oise to meet Céline and her parents. Adopted as a baby, she later discovered that she had not been abandoned by her biological mother, but had in fact been stolen. She agreed to tell her story in this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio. Céline was born in Peru on July 14, 1980 before being adopted in France by a couple who could not have children. At this time, future parents completely trust the agency they use since it is one of the most recognized in France. As an adult, Céline in turn gives birth to a little girl. An electric shock for the young woman who, for the first time, feels the need to know more about her roots. She then decides to leave everything to settle in Paris in order to be closer to a Peruvian community. There she first meets Fernando, a Peruvian who very quickly helps her find her biological mother. But Céline then makes an unexpected discovery: she was the victim of child trafficking. Her biological parents did not abandon her but she was actually stolen by a mafia organization at birth. A shock for her but also for her adoptive parents who decide to help her meet Cristina, the one who gave birth to her 23 years ago. At the airport, Céline's entire biological family is present to welcome this child, who no one has forgotten... Today, Céline founded the association “La voix des adoptés”, to support those who, like her, were deprived of the truth about their birth. In this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio, Céline tells the terrible story of her birth but also the happiness of today having two mothers who give her a lot of love.
