Nope. Life was good before the civil war. Photograph was normal. Only after the American army retreated that the Southern Vietnam was taken over by the North and the whole civilization seemed to be reversed back to 20 years before. All properties confiscated, all education system destroyed. They don’t even dare to teach that in current history class and just skip over that period
I'm actually tearing up watching...and I'm a cold old thing...this is a heart warming story. How much respect for this woman do you have? Both women, but the mom did this adoption out of love, and i can't help but feel the weight of the sacrifice. And what beautiful ladies they both are! Inside, and out!
Many Amerasians who were left behind had a hard time living in Vietnam especially after the fall of South Vietnam. They were not accepted by the new government.
My dad was on one of the individuals on the planes caring for babies during “Operation Baby Lift.” He is no longer with us, but used to tell us about his experience. He unfortunately had nightmares on a daily basis about what he witnessed when the “doors” or “bay” closed on the plane, seeing parents screaming. However, some of the “babies” now adults reached out and he was so grateful. If anyone was apart of “Operation Baby Lift,” I would love to speak/meet you. Your experience was such a big part of my dad’s life.
May God bless you entirely Julie-Ann. In Jesus Name. Julie-Ann, I just loss my Father on May 20th 2022 & my Father simply did not do all too well and he was ( shell shock ) / PTSD, and my Grandmother, Aunts, and those that raised me would never allow him to take me anywhere as a child & I loss contact with him for years, then I caught up with him, but he never talked about the war to me, and I recently found out that he never had a great relationship with his Father through his only Sister. After the war, my Father would get locked up, do drugs etc etc etc, but he recently died at age 74, but through my Father, I just recently found out that I have a really really large family and his Mother was 1 of 14 and I also found out that his Father was 1 of 12. My Father ( because he was shell shock ) he became the black sheep of the family so not many people even knew that I even existed. So now that I have reached out to my Cousins, they are almost in total shock 😱 once they find out who I am & none of my Cousins even try to deny me because of our dominant genes. My Father’s Mother’s people are all receptive of me, but I have yet to find out anything about my Grandfather’s side of my family, but this is what I will be setting out to do very very soon. 🙏🏾
This is why it is so important that adoptee parents to educate and expose their adopted children about the cultural custom and heritage of their natural parent(s) in doing so there wouldn't be a struggle.

@@tonysaldana7120 So rude comment of you!! Did u not listen or did u not understand? In the begining of the video, they tell becuse of the war in Asia it was 2 risky & poverty, to keep her baby! The mum send her 2 America so she would survive, & have a safe & better life. The father was american if u remember that?
I respect her mother so much. I have a little girl close to her age when she was given up. I CAN NOT FATHOM the position that she was in because I don't think I could continue to live without my child. I'm sure that woman's heart bled for 40 years until she saw her baby again.
I found a half brother (Vietnamese) using ancestry dna. He lives in Ca and I in Tn. My dad was a soldier in Nam. It has been great to meet my brother and his family.
DNA testing might connect you to half siblings or cousins. I would not count on parent's still living but one can only hope. Good luck and get the DNA tests done quick!!!
they also almost have the same hairstyle. I am Vietnamese, She looks exactly like her Mom when they are together, but when she was apart I couldn’t tell she was half Vietnamese.
I remember the week when the kids were brought over from Saigon in a plane. We had friends brought into our sixth grade classroom who also had a Vietnamese mom and American soldier dad, but he'd brought her and all children over. Only one was theirs together. All her other children were from a Vietnamese soldier helping the Americans, who had died fighting with us. For how difficult their lives were there, learning on a dirt floor classroom, they were all more advanced than us and valued their education immensely. It was a real lesson to me.

We had a neighbor with a Vietnamese wife too. So not all the solders abandoned them. This was circa 1975, they were like early 20's. They had no kids yet, so he married her because he loved her.
Vietnamese People are very family oriented. They love each other. I CAN'T imagine how her mother lives her intire life knowing she has a daughter living far away from her and not seeing her little girl growing up. I am happy that The daughter found her birth mother.

You are clearly a mother to understand how much your mother needed that. I am so glad you gave her that. I hope that you find the connection that is magical between you and the woman that birth you. It's just something different.
This is Mrs. Ace X. This womans mother looked so beautiful, hugging her child. Then the last hug, you see the pain of having to let her daughter go again. I hope that they become very close, to help lessen the internal scars that her mom bares. I hope in that her daughter will get more from this relationship than she ever dreamed, and that only good will come from it. Let us hope together.
Plz the look on that woman's face was like okay have u had enough... While her mother is overwhelmed with grief and happiness to have her to hold again.. Sorry seems like she had this "ugh this is where I come from?"energy.. I didn't like it..
@@N_ReYeS yes you can feel anyway you want and it’s a fact it’s not for you to like or dislike what transpired between the mother and daughter its a happy reunion between them though awkward and filled with emotions on both sides the first meeting had the daughter flying to Vietnam to see her mother and she was going back 45 plus years
I couldn't imagine having to give up my child. This is heartbreaking. I'm glad they reunited. I looked this up because I saw the first one it had me in tears. Bless your family.
A Miss Saigon story .. with a happy ending.. she endured separation just to give her daughter a chance at a better life.. a heart wrenching personal sacrifice only a mother can offer her daughter..
I understand how difficult these type of reunions must be. All the travel connections the strangeness of the land the amount of time separated. I salute this beautiful woman for seeing it through. Heartbreaking really.
She was honest about her bond with her biological mother So much time had already pass, but just knowing I was adopted and my biological mother was searching for me, I would be extremely emotional about it. She suppressed a lot over the years. It will all unravel once the reality sets it.
Did you feel she seemed a bit ungrateful and comes off as in denial or ashamed of her heritage? Idk. I m good at reading ppl. And she didn't seem as happy as you'd think someone should be after hearing their mother, who had to give them up because of the communists in the Vietnam war, has been searching for her for 40 years. It seemed she was content with her life and was just doing this to not hurt her moms feelings when she should be asking her mom if she's ok and if she needs anything and if she has food to eat etc. Growing up in Vietnam after the war I heard was brutal. I heard it made any ghetto in USA look like Disneyland. So imo, she should've put herself in her moms shoes and had some empathy. She's not realizing what her mom probably had to live through those next 10 or 20 years after siagon fell. She's so used to identifying as white, living in her nice American home living a cushy life while her mom probably went through many nights where she didn't even have food to eat or clean water.
@@jamesbroomfield7799 omg!!! i felt it strongly. i agreed 100% what you said. my theory is because she looks more american than asian so she felt she need not to know her heritage and it just came up. i didn't feel authenticity from her at all. if she had her mother's nose she would be asking all her life who she was.. why do i look like this.. LOL
i never stop cry since beginning to end as i know how her feeling to look for her child for 44 years and when the regrets she had all this years to to an adoption then came back next day the child already gone and every day wondering if the child had a good life or not , so glad before end of the day she find out the answers and there is no burden left anymore ❤
This is such a touching story and gut wrenching. I hope her mother has found peace and I hope this daughter now feels whole after finding her birth mother.
I don't think I would have been able to have the strengths to live without my children....I feel so bad for this poor mother.....my kids are everything for me.....thank God she was still alive to see her daughter again
wow!! 44 years.. was very difficult for this mother to get used to it and to kill her sadness. not all the mothers have a mother heart. but this mother does.
This story is unfortunate, but it is significant for reuniting the daughter and mother. I came to the US with my half-Vietnamese and American sister. When I was in the Philippines, we gave the US embassy my half-sister's father's dog tag; the US embassy was able to locate my half-sister's father in America. He is still alive but won't accept my sister as a daughter because he has a good family in America. He even wrote a letter to us and said, "Thank you" for caring for my daughter, but I guess because of his second wife and family. He rejected my sister, and she cried a lot. Unlike this story, she found her mother, and I am very happy for them. I understand the mother's story; I hope the daughter will forgive her. I grew up in Vietnam, and the majority of mixed kids would be punished either by the Vietnamese government or become the children of the dust.
My biological parents were unwed immigrants. My mom is Filipino Chinese and my Ethiopian Italian Indian father. I was adopted and raised Jewish in a horrible foster care home. My adopted mother Ms Watson gave me vague information about my identity and ethnicity. My mom is displaced from the Philippines. My biological mother lives in California area. I've been trying to find peace with my biological parents. My life journey has been extremely rough and I have hope to be able to secure 🙏🏼 a relationship with my biological mother.
4:54 some nice empathy here. the little girl, now 47y/o only had 2 MONTHS to build up this moment or meeting her long lost relative. her vietnamese mother on the other hand was waiting for 42 YEARS. holy hell. lol. she definitely deserved this moment -- the mother. that's some crazy persistence. maybe only the kind of persistence known to a mother.
I have a friend who adopted a baby on this same flight. Evidently children fathered by American servicemen were oftentimes looked down upon in Vietnam because their very presence was a daily reminder of an awful war.
Those babies are taken to the Philippines Clark air force base..i was one of the volunteer to take care of them for a few days before they were taken to Guam then to the US.
I can't stop crying when I am watching the video....I lost my son due to divorce,didn't seen him for almost 35 years..anyway I am just so happy to see mother and daughter getting together again...just beautiful ❤️
This was a wonderful story, so glad her and her mother finally reconnected. Her mom saved her life sending her to America, Children of American soldiers were not treated well in Vietnam.
@@mryaj0095 yes, lots of women were raped and murdered during the war. It’s really heartbreaking. There’s even a documentary on the children of Vietnam war.
My aunt adopted a girl like this woman, after the communist took over she was afraid for the girl so she sent her to live with relatives in countryside but the family maid cry and begging my aunt to keep the little girl in the family in the city.
I liked that she talked of her feelings and her thoughts when forming a relationship with her mother. That is something I didn’t think of even though I’m starting my search right now. I hope I get this moment some day.
Good luck! 👍 If you find her, don't be sad if there is no love on the other parents behalf. Whatever happens just forgive, everyone. Including yourself.
Realized from all these reunion stories that the mother's usually never give up spending their whole life looking for their children. Don't give up . Hope u have best of luck like them
Interesting, I'm also half Vietnamese, born during the Vietnam war. We were also airlifted out of Vietnam during the same time. It's sad the daughter never learned Vietnamese and the culture, in order to appreciate her mother's pain and understand herself.
I was wondering about language. If she was three and a half she would have surely learned songs and a lot of words...I wonder if she would remember if she heard her mother speak in Vietnamese. Very interesting.
A student of dance of Patsy Swayze...I got to witness first hand how American families received children of Vietnam. The family adopted a beautiful little girl. We as a community all came to love and adore her. She was reunited with a friend? Or family member her same age and both excelled in gymnastics and dance. For the betterment of the community...we as children shared laughter, smiles, LOVE and friendship. As their lives flourished it seemed to offer positivity, hope, a measure of healing for all~at such a time of great distress in the world. TRULY ENJOYED THIS STORY.
Shes so beautiful and so is her momma .. so happy for them makes me so sad she went back the next day to get her and she was gone. Poor thing the mother must have spent her whole life worrying. Im so happy they found eachother. God is so good ❤
What a great story and reunited love. I'm happy for them. I also am thinking about a half-brother or Half-Sister that my Father may have had back in 1953 in Seoul Korea. I didn't even know until we received his Military records Five years ago. I will remember this lady's words to say the same message if we ever meet. "Do you have a good life? That's the only thing I wanted to know." God Bless them and thanks for sharing your story.
Oh wow what a tearjerker. I've always loved the play Miss Saigon because it somehow gave a tiny glimpse of what it must have been like living thru hell like the Vietnam War. In that play, it showed a Mother's love for her child. Just like this woman's biological Mother. Giving her up so she can have a better life. Happy that they were able to be reunited.
the joy and the reaction to her husband's face too when they met he was happy that atleast they found each other and now she knows where her roots is and specially meeting her mom❤❤❤❤❤
I had tears throughout the story. Just be humble n natural and accept the human feelings without too much analysis. Being a mother shows you how to process everything
She looks more european to me. Her father had strong genes. I can tell she is part asian when pointed out but. But she could pass as a white woman. Her kids look so different from their grandmother. That father had strong traits.
@@jamiemohan2049Agreed! As a child she looked more Asian but as an adult she looks like a straight up white American woman. She looks exactly like her biological father and half sister. I was skeptical at first because she doesn’t look the same as the little girl in the pictures. Her Asian features completely disappeared which surprised me because Asian features are imo stronger than black features.
Her mother was so beautiful like a model in her younger years and even more beautiful in her middle age and what makes her even more beautiful is her heart❤
I think it would be hard for her mother to say what she truly feels because she speaks a different language. But you can watch her eyes and know what she is feeling. How horrible she had to give her daughter up to protect her. This is what war does but of course government doesn't care as long as their families are fine.
A mothers love is so strong and unbreakable thats what i think my mom was my best friend, and to know how much my mother loved me, i cant imagine how that woman felt seeing that being that she had to give up to save her
Very touching indeed.I am a very soft hearted person and when I come across such stories my heart freeze and melts.It cannot get more emotional than that. So touching indeed.
She was pretty emotional at the beginning in another video. She went to Vietnam to meet her whole extended family. The father is dead and comes with less, there's no easy way to say this, baggage. I would say maybe she's happy there is only one half-sister IMO.
I felt that too but it’s only because of relatable similarity of appearance and that kind of gave her a sense of comfort vs a foreign mom that she never really got close too and no resemblance. But it doesn’t mean she don’t love her mother. She does I am guessing that is why she want to know her past and who her real parents are/were. I am happy she took the time to traveled to Vietnam, got the reunion and kinda went back to memory lane evem though it was mostly for her mom’s part. Fact remains, she is grateful at least one parent is alive to share the story….that is valuable and god bless the mom for staying healthy, thanks to her the daughter got closure.
So happy for you and your mother.It makes us feel good to see people happy and that happiness that has been waiting since long time. I wish that happiness for every one who have been waiting for reunification.I wish and pray may this sort of suffering happen to none even to my worst enemy. God bless
I would encourage her to lift those gates and to OPEN herself up to her mother and to the culture/heritage she's from. Her mother comes from a humbling & beautiful background. I hope that she also is able to financially send some money to her biological mother. I can't imagine how the mother felt giving up her own daughter. ❤
You can tell the Vietnamese mother loved her child through photos. Back then in a country that was having a civil war, taking photographs was a luxury

In the old picture, she looks how her daughter looks now.

There are so many different kinds of horrors in war. ❤ I hope your Dad is resting in absolute peace.
i found my mom after 44 years as well. i love this

This is why it is so important that adoptee parents to educate and expose their adopted children about the cultural custom and heritage of their natural parent(s) in doing so there wouldn't be a struggle.
That would’ve been helpful for sure..
Yes! I don’t have children but if I adopted I’d definitely try to have my child’s cultural heritage around him/her.
I am so glad Leigh Small did the DNA test. Her Vietnamese mother was on Cath Turner's adoption story searching for her. So glad to see them reunited!
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

She doesn’t seem so excited like you tbh.
I respect her mother so much. I have a little girl close to her age when she was given up. I CAN NOT FATHOM the position that she was in because I don't think I could continue to live without my child. I'm sure that woman's heart bled for 40 years until she saw her baby again.
What’s so sad is she returned the next day..:(
I found a half brother (Vietnamese) using ancestry dna. He lives in Ca and I in Tn. My dad was a soldier in Nam. It has been great to meet my brother and his family.
My mom has been looking for her biological mother in Guatemala for 72 years. I hope she too is able to have a 😊 happy story like you. Thank you.
I hope she receives peace.
I have been looking for my mother in Guatemala for the last 62 years. Best wishes to them ❤️
72 years? Why look for her after so long? She must be dead.
@@brendajerez2235 your mom must be dead. Just stop wasting your time
DNA testing might connect you to half siblings or cousins. I would not count on parent's still living but one can only hope. Good luck and get the DNA tests done quick!!!
they also almost have the same hairstyle. I am Vietnamese, She looks exactly like her Mom when they are together, but when she was apart I couldn’t tell she was half Vietnamese.
I remember the week when the kids were brought over from Saigon in a plane. We had friends brought into our sixth grade classroom who also had a Vietnamese mom and American soldier dad, but he'd brought her and all children over. Only one was theirs together. All her other children were from a Vietnamese soldier helping the Americans, who had died fighting with us. For how difficult their lives were there, learning on a dirt floor classroom, they were all more advanced than us and valued their education immensely. It was a real lesson to me.
It’s crazy how many children were conceived during the war

@@chloekit4861Thankfully, some people were taking the "make love, not war" slogan very seriously!
With the same story like above? The kids were adopted tho?
We had a neighbor with a Vietnamese wife too. So not all the solders abandoned them. This was circa 1975, they were like early 20's. They had no kids yet, so he married her because he loved her.
Vietnamese People are very family oriented. They love each other. I CAN'T imagine how her mother lives her intire life knowing she has a daughter living far away from her and not seeing her little girl growing up. I am happy that The daughter found her birth mother.

In fact, her very name, Đẹp, means beautiful in Vietnamese
“I just wanted to give her all the sunshine.”🥺❤️ Such a beautiful heart.
You are clearly a mother to understand how much your mother needed that. I am so glad you gave her that. I hope that you find the connection that is magical between you and the woman that birth you. It's just something different.
Her mother was stunningly beautiful!!!! ❤❤❤

I hope that they become very close, to help lessen the internal scars that her mom bares. I hope in that her daughter will get more from this relationship than she ever dreamed, and that only good will come from it. Let us hope together.

I couldn't imagine having to give up my child. This is heartbreaking. I'm glad they reunited. I looked this up because I saw the first one it had me in tears. Bless your family.
The fall of Saigon was worst than any ghetto in the USA. It was hell. Mom saved her daughters life.
The horror of the children's lives during The Holocaust.....the choices that had to made. 😢
So happy they found each other. Mum is and was beautiful.
A Miss Saigon story .. with a happy ending.. she endured separation just to give her daughter a chance at a better life.. a heart wrenching personal sacrifice only a mother can offer her daughter..
I understand how difficult these type of reunions must be. All the travel connections the strangeness of the land the amount of time separated. I salute this beautiful woman for seeing it through. Heartbreaking really.
She was honest about her bond with her biological mother
So much time had already pass, but just knowing I was adopted and my biological mother was searching for me, I would be extremely emotional about it. She suppressed a lot over the years. It will all unravel once the reality sets it.
Did you feel she seemed a bit ungrateful and comes off as in denial or ashamed of her heritage? Idk. I m good at reading ppl. And she didn't seem as happy as you'd think someone should be after hearing their mother, who had to give them up because of the communists in the Vietnam war, has been searching for her for 40 years. It seemed she was content with her life and was just doing this to not hurt her moms feelings when she should be asking her mom if she's ok and if she needs anything and if she has food to eat etc. Growing up in Vietnam after the war I heard was brutal. I heard it made any ghetto in USA look like Disneyland. So imo, she should've put herself in her moms shoes and had some empathy. She's not realizing what her mom probably had to live through those next 10 or 20 years after siagon fell. She's so used to identifying as white, living in her nice American home living a cushy life while her mom probably went through many nights where she didn't even have food to eat or clean water.
@@jamesbroomfield7799 not gonna lie, I kind of felt that too.
@@jamesbroomfield7799 omg!!! i felt it strongly. i agreed 100% what you said. my theory is because she looks more american than asian so she felt she need not to know her heritage and it just came up. i didn't feel authenticity from her at all. if she had her mother's nose she would be asking all her life who she was.. why do i look like this.. LOL
@@jamesbroomfield7799 Her lack of empathy is kinda nauseating. I'm a bit surprised most commenters don't pick this up.
@@tnguyen403 agreed
Her mom is a natural beauty! She looks like a model, for sure. Glad she was able to find and meet her mom before she passed.
i never stop cry since beginning to end as i know how her feeling to look for her child for 44 years and when the regrets she had all this years to to an adoption then came back next day the child already gone and every day wondering if the child had a good life or not , so glad before end of the day she find out the answers and there is no burden left anymore ❤
This is such a touching story and gut wrenching. I hope her mother has found peace and I hope this daughter now feels whole after finding her birth mother.
all that matters is you found each other 🥰🥰🥰 ............... the mom must be so proud of how beautiful you are 🙏🙏🙏
I don't think I would have been able to have the strengths to live without my children....I feel so bad for this poor mother.....my kids are everything for me.....thank God she was still alive to see her daughter again
wow!! 44 years.. was very difficult for this mother to get used to it and to kill her sadness. not all the mothers have a mother heart. but this mother does.
Lately womans don't know what a real mother mean....or even fathers...Both chose the easy way out...
This story is unfortunate, but it is significant for reuniting the daughter and mother. I came to the US with my half-Vietnamese and American sister. When I was in the Philippines, we gave the US embassy my half-sister's father's dog tag; the US embassy was able to locate my half-sister's father in America. He is still alive but won't accept my sister as a daughter because he has a good family in America. He even wrote a letter to us and said, "Thank you" for caring for my daughter, but I guess because of his second wife and family. He rejected my sister, and she cried a lot. Unlike this story, she found her mother, and I am very happy for them. I understand the mother's story; I hope the daughter will forgive her. I grew up in Vietnam, and the majority of mixed kids would be punished either by the Vietnamese government or become the children of the dust.
You are so lucky to be given the opportunity to meet your mom. You have so much incredible strength and your mother too.
Made me cry. Loved it. And I fully understand Leigh's mix of emotions; it's complex to navigate having instant family.
I wish them well.
My biological parents were unwed immigrants. My mom is Filipino Chinese and my Ethiopian Italian Indian father. I was adopted and raised Jewish in a horrible foster care home. My adopted mother Ms Watson gave me vague information about my identity and ethnicity. My mom is displaced from the Philippines. My biological mother lives in California area. I've been trying to find peace with my biological parents. My life journey has been extremely rough and I have hope to be able to secure 🙏🏼 a relationship with my biological mother.
I am sorry for your experience. I hope you have a good life afterwards. ❤❤❤
I really pray you’ve found her or will one day. And I hope your life is beautiful from now on.
Such a touching story. both of my neighbors are Vietnamese and they're some of the nicest people I've ever met.
She has her mother smile , so happy they finally united
4:54 some nice empathy here. the little girl, now 47y/o only had 2 MONTHS to build up this moment or meeting her long lost relative. her vietnamese mother on the other hand was waiting for 42 YEARS. holy hell. lol. she definitely deserved this moment -- the mother. that's some crazy persistence. maybe only the kind of persistence known to a mother.
I have a friend who adopted a baby on this same flight. Evidently children fathered by American servicemen were oftentimes looked down upon in Vietnam because their very presence was a daily reminder of an awful war.
No more wars and no more separations! Peace to all!
Sooo happy for this story of a mom and daughter. Blessings.
Those babies are taken to the Philippines Clark air force base..i was one of the volunteer to take care of them for a few days before they were taken to Guam then to the US.
I can't stop crying when I am watching the video....I lost my son due to divorce,didn't seen him for almost 35 years..anyway I am just so happy to see mother and daughter getting together again...just beautiful ❤️
This was a wonderful story, so glad her and her mother finally reconnected. Her mom saved her life sending her to America, Children of American soldiers were not treated well in Vietnam.
As an vietnamese they seen a tons of bomb dropped on their village and killed unkown numbers what do u think?
Raped....... i can guarantee it happened.
@@mryaj0095 yes, lots of women were raped and murdered during the war. It’s really heartbreaking. There’s even a documentary on the children of Vietnam war.

I liked that she talked of her feelings and her thoughts when forming a relationship with her mother. That is something I didn’t think of even though I’m starting my search right now. I hope I get this moment some day.
Good luck! 👍
If you find her, don't be sad if there is no love on the other parents behalf. Whatever happens just forgive, everyone. Including yourself.
I firmly believe if it's meant to be it will happen. It happened for me when the time was right. Good luck. You must be prepared for anything!

Mother and daughter...
...two courageous ladies!!
A student of dance of Patsy Swayze...I got to witness first hand how American families received children of Vietnam. The family adopted a beautiful little girl. We as a community all came to love and adore her. She was reunited with a friend? Or family member her same age and both excelled in gymnastics and dance. For the betterment of the community...we as children shared laughter, smiles, LOVE and friendship. As their lives flourished it seemed to offer positivity, hope, a measure of healing for all~at such a time of great distress in the world. TRULY ENJOYED THIS STORY.
Leigh is a very well spoken Lady 💙
It was lovely they finally found each other
Shes so beautiful and so is her momma .. so happy for them makes me so sad she went back the next day to get her and she was gone. Poor thing the mother must have spent her whole life worrying. Im so happy they found eachother. God is so good ❤
Like mother like daughter. It is a sad story , but they found each other at last .
What a great story and reunited love. I'm happy for them. I also am thinking about a half-brother or Half-Sister that my Father may have had back in 1953 in Seoul Korea. I didn't even know until we received his Military records Five years ago. I will remember this lady's words to say the same message if we ever meet. "Do you have a good life? That's the only thing I wanted to know." God Bless them and thanks for sharing your story.
I cannot imagine 40 years of worrying about my baby. Her mother was amazing and I'm so grateful she had a good life.
Oh wow what a tearjerker. I've always loved the play Miss Saigon because it somehow gave a tiny glimpse of what it must have been like living thru hell like the Vietnam War. In that play, it showed a Mother's love for her child. Just like this woman's biological Mother. Giving her up so she can have a better life. Happy that they were able to be reunited.
Such is a mother's love. Beautiful women joined by love. 🙏🕊️
i salute you mommy...!!! greatest Vietnamese mother.....! from PHILIPNES 🇵🇭

Her Mum is so beautiful 💕💕
she looks like her mom. look at those pictures. the mom loves her then and now.
She looks nothing like her mom.
She looks more european to me. Her father had strong genes. I can tell she is part asian when pointed out but. But she could pass as a white woman. Her kids look so different from their grandmother. That father had strong traits.
@@jamiemohan2049 I agree she looks like a white woman to me, the only Asian I see in her are her eyes to an extent.
@@jamiemohan2049Agreed! As a child she looked more Asian but as an adult she looks like a straight up white American woman. She looks exactly like her biological father and half sister. I was skeptical at first because she doesn’t look the same as the little girl in the pictures. Her Asian features completely disappeared which surprised me because Asian features are imo stronger than black features.
Her mother was so beautiful like a model in her younger years and even more beautiful in her middle age and what makes her even more beautiful is her heart❤
It made me cry!God bless them.Lots of love from Nepal.
Not gonna lie... i cried like a baby!
Seems you cried more than the daughter. She seemed indifferent and every segue of the story showed how she really wasn’t emotionally invested.
... this beloved and very strong Mother was trying to do the only very best for her child... !
Thank you for sharing this story...
EUDS

Wow! Your story is so emotional 😭 I hope you will be spending lots of time together. Your mother love u with all her heart.
I think it would be hard for her mother to say what she truly feels because she speaks a different language. But you can watch her eyes and know what she is feeling. How horrible she had to give her daughter up to protect her. This is what war does but of course government doesn't care as long as their families are fine.
A mothers love is so strong and unbreakable thats what i think my mom was my best friend, and to know how much my mother loved me, i cant imagine how that woman felt seeing that being that she had to give up to save her
Her mother was and is still so beautiful
This made me cry like a baby ❤ so beautiful
This so beautiful 😭 she made her leave cause she loved her and wanted her be safe .
Very touching indeed.I am a very soft hearted person and when I come across such stories my heart freeze and melts.It cannot get more emotional than that. So touching indeed.
Wow I'm so glad they found each other. Leigh sounds like a very emotionally intelligent person
She gave more emotion for the father than she did the mother that’s the vibe I got.
She was pretty emotional at the beginning in another video. She went to Vietnam to meet her whole extended family. The father is dead and comes with less, there's no easy way to say this, baggage. I would say maybe she's happy there is only one half-sister IMO.
@Goddess Manbo: That's because he's White. LOL
I felt that too but it’s only because of relatable similarity of appearance and that kind of gave her a sense of comfort vs a foreign mom that she never really got close too and no resemblance. But it doesn’t mean she don’t love her mother. She does I am guessing that is why she want to know her past and who her real parents are/were. I am happy she took the time to traveled to Vietnam, got the reunion and kinda went back to memory lane evem though it was mostly for her mom’s part. Fact remains, she is grateful at least one parent is alive to share the story….that is valuable and god bless the mom for staying healthy, thanks to her the daughter got closure.
I just saw this on another video before they met and I’m here crying.
