Dorian Tapazco Téllez is a Colombian woman who, after surviving the devastating volcanic eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in 1985, became a mother whose story intertwines with the tragedy of Armero.

Despite the chaos, her child was adopted and raised in Spain, while Dorian's life took a different turn, marked by struggles and the eventual search for her lost children. Her story is emblematic of the many families affected by the disaster and the complicated histories of those separated by adoption.
