Los hijos de nadie

Los hijos de nadie is a Mexican social drama telenovela produced by Miguel Sabido and Irene Sabido for Televisa and originally broadcast on Canal de las Estrellas from February 24 to June 20, 1997. Created by Miguel Sabido, with adaptation by Miguel Sabido, Verónica Suárez, Andrea Ordóñez, Rosa Ana Curiel, and Kary Fajer, the telenovela was supported by UNICEF to raise awareness about the situation of homeless children in Mexico. The story follows Doña Leonor, an elderly woman who loses her daughter and granddaughter in a tragic accident. Seeking to overcome her loneliness, she dedicates herself to helping a group of children living on the streets of Mexico City. Alongside Verónica, a young woman who brings hope to the children through her puppet shows, Leonor faces the challenges of poverty, abandonment, and the people who seek to exploit those most vulnerable.

Directed by Pedro Damián, Miguel Sabido, Karina Duprez, Los hijos de nadie leans on a strong ensemble — Teresa Velázquez, Jorge Antolín, Silvia Derbez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about soap titles of 1997.
