Vietnam Babylift Personal Stories


Trish Page


My brother was adopted by my family in April, 1975. He was adopted as a part of the Canadian Babylift, to Toronto, Canada, through Sacred Heart Orphanage. He was six weeks old when he was adopted and his birth date is thought to be February 14th, 1975. His heritage is thought to be Vietnamese Cambodian. My parents have always said that his name was Van Thien Binh, but I believe that it might actually be Binh Van Thien.

His Canadian life has been horribly troubled and no one has heard from him in over five years. We have no idea if he is alive. He has a young daughter who has never known her heritage, or her father. I am hoping to find information on his birth family, and pass that information on to my niece. Hopefully, one day, when my brother resurfaces, I can also share this information with him. We believe that if he is still alive that he is in Canada, while I live with my own family in the United States.
