Dear Mrs Lana Noone,
It was a great
happiness and emtion that I found on Tuoi Tre news the new of 21 Babylifts in
your group: Returning to the homeland-Peace and unification. That was my last
hope in my life.
During the past few days, I was like living in a dream,
imagining that may be in some day I could look straight in my child?s eyes in
a hand in hand reunion. Since 30 years, I always kept loving my child, always
kept searching for her hopelessly.
My name is : RUONG THI TOAN, presently
I am 53 years old, married but still having no child. That made me always think
in my sad past, in which, due to difficulty I must give my child.
Dear
Mrs Lana,
In the recent days, from the time the babylifts putup theirs
step ion their homeland, untill the day they left, only in 2 short days, but that
was enough to give hope to mothers and to families that had lost their children
since 30 years.
Here, I would like to represent unhappy families and mothers
to send to you our deepest thanks, as well asto Tuoi Tre News our gratitude for
being a linking bridge to give us informations about your group, and providing

of those who died. I want people to know who they were, how they got there and
how they lived their last hours with compassion and courage.

My name
is David Redmon Nguyen and am a Babylift adoptee, requesting assistance in finding
my birth mother. My information is as follows:
- Birth name: Nguyen Trong-Dung
- Date of Birth: June 12, 1972
- Time of Birth: 1400 hours
- Place of
Birth: Saigon, 89 Tran-Quang-Khai (I'm assuming that is the street address)
- Mother's name:
Nguyen Thi Ba
- Father: Unknown
- Adopted through the
Holt International agency
On my birth certificate, the name "Duong
Ngan" appears as "The informant." I'm assuming this is the witness.
Also on the birth certicate reads a number "Rec. No 2137." As you might
have guessed, I have a birth certificate, in Vietnamese and the "official"
translation into English.
I arrived in New York on April 15, 1975 and
currently live in Boston, Massachusetts.

appreciated. I can be reached at:

Dear
Friends;
I have just returned from participation in World Airway's "Homeward
Bound" commemorating the World Airway flight that left Vietnam on 3 April,
1975 with fifty-seven FCVN Orphans, Tom Clark , FCVN's Overseas Co-Director, and
Sister Nancy Child Care Supervisor at the FCVN Thu Duc Center. In spite of warnings
not to take off World Airway's owner Ed Daly and Pilot Ken Heely, took to the
air with our precious children and staff. This flight sparked the commencement
of "Operation Babylift"; once Americans saw it could be done they urged
the US Government to proceed with the much discussed Orphan Airlift.
Members of the World crew and volunteers who flew our children to safety were
aboard the flight with twenty-one Vietnamese Adult Adoptees and guests. A wonderful
opportunity to say "thank you" to those who held and protected our children
as they flew to their new families.
World's present CEO Randy Martinez,
his wife Jennifer, several World Board members, Present World Staff Members and
journalist and photographers were aboard to direct and enjoy this wonderful event.
Three FCVN Staff; Le Thi Bach Thuy who was FCVN's social worker in Vietnam, Ross
Meador FCVN's Foster Orphanage Coordinator in Vietnam; and myself, also had the
honor of participating. The trip was unique, momentous and luxurious for all aboard.
It filled my heart with awe to see the heart warming reception the Vietnamese
people gave the adoptees. I was moved to tears to see the reaction of the wonderful
adult adoptees as they returned to their homeland; many shared it didn't feel
"foreign" - they felt a connection and belonging immediately.
While in Vietnam Bach Thuy and I were interviewed and I spoke of FCVN ROOTS Search
Program and the successes FCVN has had in locating birth family and care takers
in Vietnam for adoptees and locating adoptees for birth families. To clarify no
confidential information is given when inquires are made, FCVN gives inquiry information
to the adoptee and/or his family. Communication is handled by FCVN to protect
the privacy of all involved, until such time as the parties wish to have direct
contact.
Upon return FCVN received many, many, contacts from families
in Vietnam wishing to locate children who were adopted. Jeff Gahr and Le Thi Bach
Thuy are translating the emails/letters and FCVN appreciates their work greatly.
After translation a synopsis of the information is being posted on FCVN's
web site: fcvn.net . We are hoping this letter will alert Vietnamese Adoptees
who came in the 60's & 70's and their families to go to fcvn.net and read
the posts in the Where Are You? section.
FCVN is also participating with
a group researching the "Orphan Airlift" with plans to produce a documentary
and organize a thirty-five year reunion at the Presidio site in San Francisco.
To support this effort FCVN is building a database of FCVN Vietnamese Adult Adoptees
and their past and present information. FCVN is also considering organizing a
FCVN Homeland Tour and will distribute this information as it is developed.
One shining truth that came through during this flight is that the adoptees
being with, and getting to know, one another formed bonds that will last forever.
It was magic to see the adoptees socialize with one another in such an open and
caring manner! We hope to add to this circle with the addition of many more adoptees.
We'll being sharing all types of Vietnam information on the web site.
FCVN is working to register the ROOTS Search Program as an NGO in Vietnam and
to raise the funds to open an office in Vietnam. FCVN is also asking to be recognized
by the Vietnamese Government to return to adoption work for Vietnamese Children.
This will bring FCVN full circle from its beginnings in Vietnam in 1967.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!

I am assisting my Vietnamese friend, Doan Thi HOANG ANH, in finding her son who

name is
CHO LON Doan THAN Phong and his birth date is July 15, 1974. My friend
wishes very, very much to be reunited with him. She went to France to look for
him in July, 1981 without luck. Her message to him is "I wait for him for
30 years. I wish I can see him or a picture of him. I never forget him and I pray
for him. I know he has been well taken care of but I am sick for 30 years from
missing my son." May God Bless you all!!!! This is a beautiful website!

LOOKING FOR INTERNATIONAL ADULT ADOPTEES FOR A RESEARCH STUDY
Dear Adoptees,
Very little is known about international adult adoptees?
adjustment to their adopted country as they grow up. I am interested in understanding
the experiences of adults born in other countries and adopted by parents from
the United States. As a doctoral student in the University of Pittsburgh School
of Social Work, I am now exploring this important issue. In this study, I am interested
in finding out how the factor of parental support of your ethnic identity has
contributed to your feelings about yourself.
I hope you will agree to
cooperate with this effort, since the information I obtain can help social workers
to understand study factors that affect successful adjustment. This study has
been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Pittsburgh
and follows the board's ethical standards and guidelines. There are no anticipated
risks or direct benefits to you from participating in this study.

We have a friend who was born in Vietnam in 1972 and came to Toronto
in Operation Babylift. She was born with spina bifida, her mother couldn't look
after her, and she was brought to a Catholic orpanage in the Saigon area. She
still remembers coming to the orphanage, and feels her mother may still be alive.
Her Vietnamese name is
Nguyen, Thi Phuong Mai. She still has a hospital-style
wrist or ankle band with her name and the picture of a bird on it, as well as
the number 819175 and #41 on it. I don't know if that was an orphanage or hospital
ID tag, or babylift ID. She would like to connect with her past, so if you can
help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help
Sincerely, John.

Hi! My name is Julie Fiegener and I was one of the Vietnamese that was on the Babylift. I was born in Saigon, Vietnam. I was adopted by American family in the year of 1975. I mostly can remember the bad war that I was in before leaving Vietnam.
Most of my records have been lost because the other two planes crashed. Now I would like to find out if I have any relatives or family that are still alive.
I do not know my Vietnamese names but I am full Vietnamese and I live in United States of America. I have been living in the USA since I came here in the year of 1975.
If anyone has any type of information please contact me at my e-mail address listed below
I thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Shorty,

Dear Lana,
Firstly I would like to thank you for your loving work.
My name is Phillip Olliges (HOA VAN MINH) and i was on that C5 Galaxy plane that crashed April, 4th 1975. I was being adopted through "Terre des Hommes" in 1975 by a wonderful German family.
To be honest I've given up all kinds of researches concerning my past roots but yesterday I jumped on a subject I've never heard before. This was the term "Operation Babylift". Since then I got the book "Turn My Eyes Away" written by Rosemary Taylor and I really didn't know
anything about my past. So "Operation Babylift" opened me lots of new undiscoverd doors to get proper information about the crash and all that.
While surfing the Internet I hit your webpage and I was quite overwhelmed by all those caring and sad people that try to find their relatives. Personally, I don't have too much hope to find some relatives and on the other hand I'm quite confident now with my situation concerning
the past but I want to give it a try as well. So here's my story:
Due to my original Vietnamese papers I was born in Khanh Hung, Ba Xuyen on 21th of October, 1974 (reference number 2752). Person making declaration: Truong-Thi-Toi. The registrar: Nguyen Thanh Meo.
I was given the name "Joel" by the nurses. According to the book "Turn My Eyes Away" in the upper cabin of the plane there were the most surviving babies coming from some Allambie children, Phu My Children, 50 To Am children and 20 New Haven Children. It as also mentioned that only one boy survived in the lower places of the plane.
This is all I know. If you can help me by any chance finding someone who knows my story I would be very grateful!!!
Thank you again for your wonderful work.
Sincerely
Hoa
