Children


I was one of the orphans aboard Operation Babylift

I was one of the ophans aboard one of the C5A Cargo planes, which flew to the United States in 1975. 
I was about 4-5 months old, very sick and almost dead. My family and medical history are unknown. 
Once I was brought to my adoptive parents, they gave me a birthday. I have lived a "normal" American life. 
Now, at the age of 25, I am being introduced to more and more information of my birth land. I am intrigued 
by the number of people who were affected in by these times, the same as I was. I am in contact with two 
other adoptive children, by living in the same town. We were all in An Loc. I guess I'm just interested in 
finding more information about what it was like back then, on that day I was flown out. Things like that, I still 
don't know and am very interested in learning.
