Vietnam Adoptee FAQ: Questions About Roots, Identity and Reunion
Why This Site? Why Now?
Because one day, not knowing where I came from hurt more than anything. Because I needed to put words on my silences. Because I no longer wanted to run away.
RacinesVietnam.com was born from pain... but also from hope. A place where uprooting meets reclaiming, where the pieces fall back into place, where memory becomes alive.
Is This Site for Me?
If you’re adopted. If you’ve ever lost yourself in a mirror. If you live between two languages, two silences, two countries. If you’re searching without always knowing what. Then yes, this site is for you too.
Do You Make a Living From This Site?
Not yet. But I’m building it as a digital refuge — for myself and for others. My dream: to make a living from a loyal newsletter, solidarity donations, premium content, and one day, meetings or coaching sessions.
Have You Found Your Family?
I found my mother. My brother. Faces I once thought impossible to see again. But I’m still searching for my sister. And maybe this site is the silent message that will find her.
Did You Learn All That On Your Own?
Yes. I have no diploma. I learned to live, to write, to create — on my own. I learned English in the streets. Web skills without code. SEO with almost nothing. This site is my school, my work, my freedom.
Is This Site Funded?
No. This site is supported only by you. No ads. No brands. No compromises. It exists thanks to engaged, sensitive, and free readers.

Is the Site Available in English?
Yes. Because adoption is universal, and Vietnam crosses borders.
Can I Share My Story Too?
Yes. You can write to me, or send me your story. Even if it’s incomplete. Even if it’s unclear. Even in silence.
