Research Survey for Adopted Adults!

Let your story be heard!

My name is Haley Kranstuber, and I am a graduate student at Miami University writing my thesis on family stories in adoptive families.

As an adopted person myself, I see how important it is for families to know how to talk to their children about adoption. So I am conducting study to learn about that process.

If you are an adopted person over the age of 18, you have an opportunity to participate in my brief 15-20-minute survey. It is completely anonymous-your name will not be connected to the survey in any way. You will be able to see the completed study if you desire.

The survey can be found at: https://survey.muohio.edu/

From Susan Sherwood:

I am currently working on a historical documentary and educational film for a PA museum on humanitarian efforts by Pennsylvania veterans during and after (until today) the Vietnam War. Stories about wartime support to civilians/orphanages/schools/infrastructure, Operation Babylift, refugees/boat people and humanitarian missions to Vietnam today will be included.

At this point, I am researching compelling stories and potential interviewees.

Since most of my effort has been directed at connecting these stories to Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanians, I am looking for Babylift orphans who were adopted by and grew up in Pennsylvania families - or are currently living here. Also, trying to find current contact information for Sarah Haftl.

And finally, I am looking for Babylift adoptees who have experience as actors/actresses or broadcasters - for "talent" work on the educational film.

If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at:

Thank you.

Good bye

Dear Ms. Lana Noone,

I'm writing to ask you if you know anything about Tieu Khu , Cam Thanh orphanage in Quang Ngai. This is Catholic orphanage.

My father is looking for his niece who lived in this orphanage before 1975 . Her name is Pham Thi Lien . Her famaily haven't heard anything about her since 1975 when the war ended.

Every child was taken to USA at the time.

A few year ago, there was a person who came to a village where Lien's family lived, looking for her family. Unfortunately, her family moved to another place. An old neighbor told her brother about that but it's too late.

If you know about the orphanage, please let me know. I will get more information from her brother and tell you more about Pham Thi Lien.

God Bless You.
Thank you very much.

My name: Nguyen Nguyen
My email: hoaminguyen@yahoo.com

My name is Mina Din Madden, and I'm writing because I'm of Vietnamese/Caucasian ethnicity (my mother is Vietnamese and my father is American (Caucasian of Irish ancestry) and I had some questions. I realize your organization pertains to adopted Vietnamese Americans, but I thought it would be worth a try.

The reason I'm writing you (along with any other organization that works with Amerasians) is because my brother was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February. He has gone through several rounds of chemo and is stable, but the only cure for leukemia is a stem-cell transplant.

Because my brother is bi-racial, it is harder for him to find a donor match than other patients. There are fewer mixed-race donors in the national registry than any other ethnicity. Therefore, I'm contacting the Amerasian Foundation, your foundation and others like it in an effort to not only ask more Amerasians to join the registry, but in a specific effort to find Vietnamese/Caucasians or
Vietnamese/African-Americans or any Vietnamese/other ethnicites who would be willing to do a test to see if they might be a match for my brother.

Just to give you a bit of important info regarding stem-cell transplants (as many confuse it with bone marrow transplant):

This is NOT a bone marrow transplant (which is the term most people are familiar with. ) A stem-cell transplant is akin to a blood transfusion; it involves no anesthesia, surgery or risks. Some of a donor's blood is taken, the stem-cells separated out, the blood
returned to the donor. Those stem-cells are than injected into the patient and these stem-cells then take root in the donor's body and essentially save the patient's life (as they essentially give the patient a new, healthy immune system).

The test a person would do to see if he/she might be a match is a saliva swab test, takes about 5 minutes to do, and can be sent
anywhere in the US or the world (free of charge, of course). If the saliva swab showed someone to be a potential match, they would do a blood test to confirm a true match or not. IF they were a true match, and willing, they could then be a donor and save a life. Any leukemia patient faces the challenge of finding a suitable stem-cell donor, but my brother's situation is that much more difficult because of his mixed ethnicity.

We're in a desperate situation and need all the help/resources we can get. Please let me know if your organization might be able to work with me. I'd be willing to fly anywhere necessary to organize a donor drive locally, if there are willing Amerasians.

Thanks so much for your time and any help you might offer.

Best,
Mina Din Madden

Rosemary worked in Vietnam since 1967, the Department of Social Welfare decided we needed a name, especially since we were caring for such large numbers of children.

Comments: In May of 1975 an American family adopted me from Denver. I was from the Ghenh Rang orphanage. I was seven when I was adopted; now I'm 40. I was unaware of the reunion that was going in 2005, although I wish I had known. My husband was in the military so we traveled a lot; in the end we retired here in Florida. Life has been good to me, but I am writting this to see if anyone knows anything about my two older brothers whom I don't have names for. I know that doesn't help one bit, but if anyone also knows who Sister Emilienne and has her infomation I would appreciate it. I haven't been back to Vietnam at all, but I'm planning to go back this Christmas with my three kids and husband to find Qui Nhon. Hopefully I'll be able to find some answers to my questions. I know both of my biological parents are deceased. I'm just seaching for my two brothers. Oh, also, my Vietnamese name was Nyuyen yhi Hao. My middle brother was in the orphanage with me, and my oldest brother would come and visit us on the weekend, but when the war started in on us, there was no way to locate or find my older brother at the age of seven. I remember just trying to get all the babies loaded up on the bus not knowing where we were going. Although I was I remember alot of my younger life in Vietnam.

Also, I've been reading this site and I'm so thankful and want to thank you, Lana, and Charlie for all your time you've put into this. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

I write to you again asking for your help and if maybe you could find it in your heart to post my, "looking for" even though it is not about the Vietnam babylift.

I am a 36 year old Amer/Asian. My mother is Vietnamese and met my father, a military personnel at that time stationed in Hawaii but was serving his tour of duty in Nha Trang, Vietnam. They met some time during late 1969 in a Vietnamese club. He was tall, white haired (maybe blonde),probably about my mom's age or a little older.

He would have been around 25-30 yrs old and lived in the U.S. state known for making towels. His tour ended in Feb 1969 when he left Nha Trang. He knew my mother was four months pregnant with me but unfortunately. was married with no kids in the states. Their meeting I don't think was a love story but I was conceived and born, later to be adopted by another American who helped raise me into the person I am today.

I wish no harm or painful truths for anyone or their family. I only wish to know any little detail I can as to "who's my father"?

I was 16 when I found out the man who I thought was my father was not, and from that moment on my whole life seems to be a big mystery, never to be solved. I know that he may not even be around anymore, but I can only hope that anyone who may have known him or served with him, might be willing to share any information with me as to what kind of person he was, how he looked.

I wonder alot about where I got the personalities that I have. I have gone through my life with people asking me my nationality, Spanish, maybe Filipino or even Hawaiian but in honesty I just don't know what I am.

If you can find it in your heart to post my search, I would be forever grateful. I know nothing may ever come of my yearning to know my father but my inner feelings will never let me move on if I do not at least try. As I stated earlier, I have no desire to hurt or cause any ones family pain so you may rewrite any portion of my search to fit your requirements. I only wish to know who he was or maybe still is?

I may never know you personally Lana, but I have more respect for you and the things you do for the children of my country of Vietnam. If it were not for you and so many Americans like you, who had mercy for the Vietnamese, I myself may not even be here today. I thank you and everyone involved from the bottom of my heart.

Forever Thankful

Go Vap Orphanage Vietnam

I was wondering if you could help me with information concerning Go Vap orphanage in Vietnam.

I was born on 27/02/1975 to ...(name ommitted for privacy reasans)... and was one of the last babies to be flown out in April 1975 without much documentation except the name of my adopted parents and my birth name (Nguyen Son
Thuy).

My wonderful adoptive parents always informed me that the orphanage I was placed in was named Go Vap situated in Saigon (HCM).

Now I am at that age where I would like to rediscover my birth heritage and give a little back to my birth country by helping the orphans.

I am lucky enough to have won a "dream" competition at work and my company are willing to sponsor me this year to return to visit Go Vap for the fist time and perhaps take time out to do some charity work.

I am having difficulty in finding out the telephone number for Go Vap and would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction, with who the best person is to speak with over there.

Many thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely,

Apart from looking for anybody who might have information about my birth mother, I am also looking for a very brave & kind lawyer who was in constant liaison with my adopted mum (Mrs. Browne).

Madame Dieu was so brave as she did her best to get me onto the Daily Mail flight for orphans, but for some reason I missed that flight & on the last days in April she managed to put me onto the last flight with another undocumented baby on a Canadian flight or with a Canadian pilot.

The Vietnamese lawyer Madame Trung Ngoc Dieu, mentioned that she would try to settle in France or in the US after the war.

I would also like to trace & thank Mr Wade in the UK Home Office who helped arrange & granted my stay to live in London.

If anyone has information about those people, please let me know. I can be contacted by email at:

The last place I left my children in Vietnam was a baptist church named Nhi Vien Dong De-Nha Trang,Khanh Hoa-Vietnam. I was very ill and poor so the church offered to help take care of my children for me.

The last thing I heard was in 1974 the church and the U.S. government made plans to help all the children from the church to come to America.

I have never heard from or seen my children since then. If you can please help me to find my children I pray that God Bless you all.

Sam Cross is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School. He was supposed to graduate from Harvard this spring. Now he is on medical leave at Cornell Hospital where he just finished two rounds of chemotherapy.

Sam is 21 years old. He was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia over the winter break; a good match for a bone marrow donor could greatly increase his chances for survival. He is a hard bone marrow match because he is biracial (Korean/western European). Potential donors (18-60 years old) with similar Asian and/or European backgrounds are his best chance.

There are currently only 10 potential matches for Sam in the bone marrow database throughout the world -- and they may or may not ultimately match or be available.

There is a $52 fee to get tested to enter the national registry -- to see if you match anyone in need, including Sam. But if your heritage is fully or partially Asian, the $52 testing fee is waived if you register as a donor for the national pool through The Asian American Donor Program (AADP) at this link: <www.aadp.org> . Others who are willing to get tested can register on <www.marrow.org> to be entered into the national pool of potential donors, at a cost of $52, which is tax deductible. In addition, the family has created a fund for volunteers who sign up at <www.marrow.org>.

If you want to get tested specifically for Sam, you can contact the family via helpsamiam@gmail.com<mailto:helpsamiam@gmail.com> . They will supply the required information. It's about $150 to see if you're a match for a specific individual. This second option isn't really necessary, because Sam's doctors are scouring the network for donors and all matches will be identified through the national pool. And, naturally, if you aren't a match for Sam, you could be a match for someone else in need.

However, If you would like to be tested as a potential donor for Sam, specifically and only, please reply to the family.

Additional information on how to register as a bone marrow donor is available at <www.HelpSamIAm.com>.

Feel free to forward this appeal to friends, family and colleagues.

I'm an An Lac orphan looking for help from fellow An Lac orphans concerning a documentary project. Please notify me if you are interested.

At this time, I am interested in interviewing An Lac orphans from different regions in their hometown gaining a perspective of their life after the airlift. Growing up in their part of the country and where they are today.

The film crew would come to them in their home town.

My final and dream for the ending of the documentary would to invite as many An Lac orphans as possible back to Fort Benning to see and walk the grounds of where the plane landed and catching it on film as a closing for the documentary.

Betty Tisdale of course would be there.

This is just a sample of the documentary ideas but we would like to start work on it in late January.

Please notify me if you are interested.

An Invitation to Adult Adoptees from Vietnam

Hi all:

The list-owner and moderators of Adoptive Parents of Vietnam (APV) list-serve have come up with a project that we are very excited about, and we need to ask for the participation of adult adoptees from Vietnam for it to work. Adoptive parents very much want to make the right decisions on a variety of subjects for their children, and we value the opinions of adult adoptees on these topics very highly.

We would very much like to encourage adult adoptees from Vietnam to participate on the APV, but recognize that sometimes it is a lot to take on, and that if a-parents have difficulty hearing certain truths, etc., the adult adoptee may become the victim of flames, be called "angry," etc., etc. This has had the effect of discouraging adult adoptee participation on many list-serves in the past.

We don't want any of this to happen at APV, so we have been trying to brainstorm how to tap into the vast storehouse of experience adult adoptees from Vietnam have to offer those of us who have children adopted from Vietnam so that our children can benefit from their experience.

Here's the proposition.

We are going to create a special library in the "files" section of the APV database for adult adoptee writings.

We invite all adult adoptees from Vietnam to send us their experiences, opinions, dreams, ideas, etc. (good or bad, in any form ) either on topics they think adoptive parents should know about or in response to particular queries. Authors may contribute only once, or hopefully more than once, depending on their time, etc. They may contribute anonymously or have their work attributed to their name (their choice). My only request is that those who want to contribute anonymously would provide their name to me for my records, but I will not release it. Our position is that the author's work is their own property, and not the property of APV. It could be reproduced anywhere the author likes.

We hope to provide a forum for adult adoptees from Vietnam to express their ideas on things they think are important for us to know and as a resource for families of younger adoptees from Vietnam to draw on as they parent their children.

So if you are an adult adoptee from Vietnam (adult defined as over 18), please get in touch with me at collinudell@hotmail.com. We can dialogue about what you would like to write about or if you would like me to provide you with various topics.

We would appreciate your participation so much! We want to learn from you so that our kids will be the beneficiaries.

Thank you for considering this invitation, and please feel free to redistribute it on any other list-serves, in any private emails you might forward to someone who might be interested or who might know of someone who is interested, etc.

All the best,

Collin O'Connor Udell

Dear Lana Noone,

I certify that I agree with you and want you to post my message onto babylift. In the translated message I have just only changed my working place that I'm working for College of Aquaculture and Fishery, Can Tho University, Vietnam.

Best wishes
Ha Phuoc Hung

The message now may be that:

My name is Ha Phuoc Hung, currently a primary lecturer at the College of Fishery and Aquaculture, Can Tho University, in Vietnam.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to help my family
find my sister. My sister may be named Hoa, born in 1957 in Soc Trang. She has the following distinct features:

My sister was born with only one normal arm. The other arm ends at the elbow and does not have the foream and hand.

Because of such difficult situation, my mother gave her to a orphanage in Soc Trang right after her birth. Later, when my family return to the orphanage to find her, we were told by the orphanage that my sister, 15-16 year old at the time, had been sent abroad by a charity organization, a year or two before 1975.

My parent are now old and regret about the action they took in the past. They would like to find her and reestablish contact with her.

We hope that through you, we would be able to find our piteous lost daughter and sister. We wish to have the enthusiatic assistance from you and your organization. If you have any information about my sister, please contact me via my email.

Sincerely yours,

From Oct '69- Aug '70 I was stationed at Tay Ninh West Base Camp.

My unit use to take food and other supplies to this Vietnamese Catholic Church in Tay Ninh City.

On the grounds they had a number of rooms that were being used as an orphanage. The children had come from the village of Dau Tieng.

There had been a massacre there in '68. The children were being cared for by four Vietnamese Catholic Nuns. Two of them were called Sister Anna.

I was just reading about Operation Babylift in Vietnam magazine. I know this is probably selfish of me but I would like to know if any of them from the orphanage in Tay Ninh were able to get out. I have thought of them often over the years and would appreciate any infomation you could give me
on how to find out ie: another web site or a list of where to look.

Thank you for your time.

My deceased father served in the armed forces and did two tours in Vietnam. His name was George Watson Pickard Jr. He was with Seabees MCB Six. He was with US Mobile Construction between 1965-1966, then again in or around 1968, in or near Chu Lai.

The only information that myself and my sisters and brothers have is we do have a half sister. We were told she lives in the United States now, near California. So, if anyone has any information on her whereabouts we are trying to welcome her as our sister, and meet with her, or have a photo or two of her. I being the oldest daughter of my late father whom served in the military for some 34 years would have wanted all of his children to know each other.

I am not a rich person either but would like to meet her and get to know who she is. I do understand your name in English would be "Darlene". I am looking forward to hearing from you and so would all of your nieces and nephews.

My significant other is a former USMC man as well. You may contact me by e-mail.

Dear Lana,

Thank you very much for posting this on your website.

I am looking for information concerning my Vietnamese origins. The only information I have, thanks to Sister Susan McDonald and Rosemary Taylor is the following:

I arrived at the nursery To Am in Saigon, where Rosemary Taylor was, on September 9, 1972 from Père Olivier, a Redemptorist Orphanage in Saigon. I looked to be about 4 months old. Nobody knew who my family was, nor anything about me.

I stayed in To Am until the 19th of October 1972, to leave Saigon for Brussels.

I was adopted by a wonderful Luxembourgish family. The organization "Terre des hommes" organized the adoption.

Before departure I got a WHO vaccination card signed by Captain James Altwood.

If someone could help me or knows something, it would be amazing...

Thank you very much in advance.

My name is Herb Neeland. I guess you would call this a re-connect story, or trying anyway.

Oh, first of all, yes, you have my permission to put this on your website. From Jan. of 71, to Sept,73 I was a Medic at Wilford Hall Medical Center. I worked Neurosurgery ICU, for nearly three years. During that time, and my memory is not that good, I worked with a young black man, from another floor. We lived in the same barracks. He may have been from Ohio, like me.

I was given orders to "Udorn, Thailand" in 73. I lost contact with this young black man. He was tall, and wore "Black frame glasses". He was obviously re stationed somewhere in SouthEastAsia. When the plane went down, obviously it was a shock to us all. I had been out of the AF almost a year, when sometime in 75, I picked up a magazine and read about this terrible plane crash.

They listed some of the names, and pictures of these brave Medics, and crew of the plane that went down. I saw my good friend. I stared, and just began to cry. I yelled out to anyone that was listening at my place of employment, "I know this kid"......Well, no one was really interested.

I sit here after finding this website of yours, and I nearly weep at the frustration of trying to think of the young man that I knew at Lackland AFB. If there are some old photos of this young man, or the crew, maybe I could pick out his face. I can see his face in my mind's eye as I write. He was Tall, thin, and wore black frame glasses. I believe it was written that he had broken his back, but had recovered. That, I believe is the truth in what I remember. It has been thirty one years since I have looked at whatever magazine this was. Maybe "Life Magazine".

If you could, would you please look, and see if you could find someone of this description. What a reunion it would be for me. Maybe for him too.....

God bless all of you for making such a wonderful site. And to the beautiful little babies, who have grown up, and become such wonderful "GIFTS", "God's Gifts" to whomever adopted them..................

Love and Prayers

I'm Liem Tran, an engineer from San Jose, California. I'm writing to you & your organization to help a friend of mine, Mr Song Ngo, to locate his adopted Ameriasian girl, who he raised her when she was born until April 1975.

His adopted daughter is a Viet-Caucasian with blond hair. She was born in 1967 in Ban Me Thuoc to a Vietnamese woman & an American service man. Mr. Ngo adapted her since her birth. Her name is Ngo Thi Lieu. She has a red birth mark on her right arm, near the elbow.

On those last days of Saigon before the communist took over, Mr. Ngo took his entire family to Saigon from Ban Me Thuoc trying to run away from VC.

Fearing for her safety, Mr. Ngo handed her to the Red Cross/Nun in their office at #9 Pasteur St, Saigon, to be evacuated from the country. At the time, she was eight years old. She was on the last flight of Babylift operation out of VN.

Mr. Ngo Song and his family escaped later, and came to the US in 1978. They?ve been trying to look for her. He was crying when telling me about the last moment he was with her. She begged him to let her to stay with them, but he said, "Go to America and I'll come later to look for you." Now Mr. Ngo is in his late 70's. He and his wife wish are to have a chance to see Lieu again.

Lieu is now about 39 years old, but I believe she still remember her family. Mr. Ngo gave her the family pictures & related documents when he handed her to the Red Cross.

I came across your website & email address. I'm writing you with the hope that I can help Mr. Ngo & his family to find their long lost baby girl. Please help them.

Would you please also let me know where else I can turn to get help to located her? You can contact me by email.

Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely yours,

Liem Tran

By the time she got there, the nuns told her that one of the Fathers took all the children to France. We do not know if she was a part of "Operation Babylift". My sister is Amerasian ( mother is Vietnamese and father is American). Her birth certificate shows her name as Nguyen Thi My. If you are out there, we love you and we are looking for you.

I could not find a submission form and I'm not even sure this applies, but, I'm looking for my older half-brother. It's possible he was adopted out and may have been part of the Babylift operation. My dad was a US Army soldier serving in Viet Nam from 1968-1971. The girl he was seeing, Kim said her son was his. Her son's name was Donald; he was born in 1970 in, or around, Tuy-Hoa. My dad's unit moved him and wouldn't let him go back to get Kim and Donald. When he was finally able to get back he couldn't find them anywhere. We would really like to find out what happened to them and get in contact.

If you know of any other places I can look or if anyone has any information regarding Donald and his mother Kim, please email me:
