In 1975, the mass evacuation of children from South Vietnam to the United States and other countries at the end of the Vietnam War was named Operation Babylift.  Thousands of children were evacuated during that time, and today I speak with one of those evacuees, Dave Nguyen. Dave was adopted at the age of three by an American family and now has a family of his own.  In 2010, Dave set out on a journey to discover his heritage and find his birth parents.  He shares his compelling story of his return to Vietnam, visiting his birth place, and reuniting with his birth mother.   Through this emotional journey, Dave discovers his own identity, and is now on a mission to find more answers about his past.  I love learning from others, and in this chat, I enjoyed hearing Dave’s story of his adoption, reunions, and self-discovery and learning about Operation Babylift.
