The story of two Global Nomads and their time in China.
 
Operation Babylift
Do you remember where you were in 1975? I wasn’t even born yet! But if you were, do you remember the evacuation fights airlifting children and babies out of war torn Vietnam?

I’ve got two plugs:

Operation Babylift - a film by Tammy Nguyen Lee that tells the story of the operation and what became of the babies - the adopted children brought to America. The trailer alone had me in tears.



And a book, After Sorrow Comes Joy, that tells the story from the perspective of the author - a young nurse and mother who went to Vietnam to assist in the orphanages and was intimately involved in the babylift operation, who herself adopted 3 children and went on to work in adoption in India and Vietnam.

For those who lived through that era, or who want to know what it was like.
