Meeting Half Sister from Vietnam

This is me meeting my sister Thuy from Vietnam for the very first time. 46 years ago my father got Thuy's mother pregnant, and then left and went back to the USA before she was even born. Our father never saw Thuy in the flesh, he died four years ago.

Thanks to family trees online, and then genetic testing, Thuy found me, asked me to confirm what she thought, the results came back that beyond any reasonable doubt, we are brother and sister.

This video documents our first time meeting each other, from my point of view, starting out at the Tampa Airport all the way through to two months after the meeting for the first time reflecting back on the experience and what has happened since then.

My favorite part of the video is where Thuy talks about what her life was like in Vietnam growing up with the unknown father, of the losing invading army with an adoptive family.

This is where we talk about it in the hotel and the MGM Grand in Detroit. I love this talk we had and we are honored you are here to experience this with us.

I watched a video like this on the plane flight before I met Thuy and I cried for about 30 minutes watching the beauty and love in that story as children reconnected with their families after years of not knowing who their parents and their siblings were.

If you like anything that you see in this video, will you please leave a like on the video because that will help you feel good that you are doing something to empower more of us to experience the love and joy we share in this story?

If you like this half as much as we have enjoyed making this and sharing this with you, I think you will love it.

Thank you very much for starting this with us, we are honored to have you as a part of our story and we hope you enjoy it.
