I Learned My Mum's Identity via SMS
My Huong was evacuated from Vietnam to Australia as a 4-year-old. The long search for her birth family would prove to be a 鈥榬ollercoaster ride鈥�.
In the last chaotic days of the Vietnam War, thousands of children were sent away to be adopted in safer countries. Four-year-old My Huong went to Australia and it would be many years before she returned to Vietnam and finally uncovered the extraordinary truth about her birth family.
