Former hostage Ingrid Betancourt embraces her son Lorenzo, right, and daughter Melanie upon their arrival from France at a military base in Bogota, Thursday, July 3, 2008. Betancourt embraced her children for the first time in six years, saying the thought of them helped her stay alive until a daring rescue plucked her and 14 other hostages from the jungle on Wednesday.
