My Huong is a beautiful and brave human being. Best of luck with her project.

I’m a new mother and looking at the little babies being put in hammock and get shipped off across the world. I hurt for the children and all of the mothers who gave them up.

Wow, this was so emotional to watch. I felt like crying when Sophie was greeted by the older lady in the village

I want to adopt someday. A big reason why I want to adopt is because I want to give a good, stable, loving home to a child in need. Why would I want to bring another child into the world when there are so many children out there who are in need of a safe, stable, loving home. Another big reason why I want to adopt is because I want my children to understand that family doesn't mean looking like each other. It means loving each other and caring for each other.

Thank you for sharing....Thank you for caring for children that need parents and the love of adult children that were adopted. I hope you find your birth mother!!!

As a fellow Vietnamese adoptee, I was very moved by this story. I also feel that the Australians are able to better accept the complexity of the situation than what I see portrayed amongst the Americans and our media.

When I returned to my motherland in 2005, I had wondered about every single woman in her 60s or 70s if she were my birthmother. I also wondered if any of the girls was my sister and any of the boys was my brother. I could have passed my birthmother and not know it. I even wondered about the little kids if any of them were related to me. I could identify with all the orphans in the orphanage and Huong was right that all those kids needed a family. I also knew how Sophie felt, which was something that adoptees have. It was very emotional for me.

This war tore so many families apart. Siblings argued over ideologies. In the end, it was only the women and children who suffered.
