Vietnam Babylift Personal Stories


Tuan Nguyen

Hello, my name is Tuan Nguyen and I am searching for my baby sister My Thi Nguyen. I have very little information of what happened to her. When she was 18-24 months old my mother was faced with hardship and was not able to raise us. I was raised by my grandmother and My was sent to Tan Mai Orphanage at Bien Hoa. When my mother found out that the Viet Cong was about to invaded Saigon, she immediately went to the orphanage to find my sister to bring her home. 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. Please, if anyone have any information about her or can help us, please contact me at TDNguyen67@sbcglobal.net. Thank you
