Grafting Hope was started by Jimmy L. Thyden González after he learned the truth of his counterfeit adoption FROM CHILE.

realizing there were little to no resources for ADOPTEES TRAFFICKED AS CHILDREN, no governmental action to address the harm done, and no change to the global way inter-country adoptions are taking place, GRAFTING HOPE WAS STARTED.

Meet the Founder

Jimmy Lippert Thyden González is an international adoptee, combat veteran, and Attorney born in Santiago, Chile and raised in Arlington, Virginia. He began to discover the criminality behind his adoption in 2011; unknown even to the family who adopted him. Jimmy had been given his adoption records, and has since confirmed his suspicions through reunion with his biological family in Chile. He has been fighting for international adoptee rights and bringing the world’s attention to stolen children ever since, consequently filing a lawsuit against the Chilean Government in July of 2024. Jimmy received his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law and his Masters in International Human Rights Law through the Master of Laws Program at American University Washington College of Law.
