The Right Time for a Reunion (pdf)
After a year of planning the reunion of first generation Vietnamese adoptees, Operation Reunite attendees gathered in Ho Chí Minh City, Vietnam, April 1-16. The group returned to remember the fall of Sài Gòn and the historic Operation Babylift, but most importantly to return to our common homeland together. The two weeks were filled with adoptees from America, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Australia sharing their stories, finding their personal histories, and creating bonds with each other that will last a lifetime.

Mekong Delta - Operation Reunite
In April 2010, Adult Vietnamese adoptees are returning to their homeland to reunite as they discover their birth culture. The idea originated with discussions among members of Operation Reunite on Facebook. Our decision was to reunite in Ho Chi Minh City to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the US sponsored Operation Babylift and the Fall of Saigon.
The reunion will take place from April 1 to 16, 2010 in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. There will be approximately 20 adoptees returning to Viet Nam on this trip. This is a diverse group of adult adoptees who grew up throughout the world, such as America, England, Finland, and Australia. The reunion offers human interest stories that appeal to many audiences including our own adoptee community that consists of thousands of adults, a second generation adoptive families, and historians of the Vietnam War era.
We are currently receiving television, film, print, and social news media requests to cover our reunion. Please read for more information.
