The article covers the emotional reunion of two-year-old Maikelys Antonella Espinosa Bernal with her family in Venezuela after being kidnapped and placed in foster care in the United States. Her grandmother, Maria Escalona Fernandez, traveled eight hours to meet her in Caracas. Venezuelan First Lady Cilia Flores was present at the airport to welcome Maikelys back, leading to an emotional moment as she was handed over to her mother, Yorely Bernal, who had been deported from Texas. President Maduro highlighted the significance of the reunion within national sentiment.
Maria Escalona Fernandez woke up Wednesday and went out to catch the first bus from Barinas to Caracas, a nearly eight-hour journey she traveled in anticipation, almost in disbelief knowing she would be reunited with her granddaughter.
At the Venezuelan government headquarters, her mother, Yorely Bernal, 20... was waiting for her. Flores herself handed the child over to her mother and maternal grandmother, who burst into tears and embraced her.
Maduro, who witnessed the meeting in the background, was quick to declare that everyone's beloved child had arrived.
