First Annual Mẹ Ơi Fund Drive 2026

​Mẹ ơi, or Mom, is the first word many Vietnamese children learn, and for thousands of adoptees and war-era children it is a call that has never been answered. Separated by war, adoption, and decades of missing records, they are still searching for the families they lost.​

 

Con Tìm Mẹ brings them home. Our bilingual team in Vietnam requests police and hospital records, translates documents, conducts genealogical research, and travels to families to collect DNA so we can make matches that reunite parents and children.​

 

Your gift at work:

  • $20 gives back to Vietnamese communities through food parcels, housing support, and other essentials, and sustains every area of our mission through the Con Tìm Mẹ Fund.

  • $25 helps an adoptee join our database, recording their story and opening the door to potential family matches.

  • $50 funds translation of an adoptee's adoption papers, letters, and records by our bilingual team.

  • $79 provides a DNA kit that can reunite a mother and child separated since the Vietnam War, bridging generations through science and compassion.

  • $100 covers an official request for police, hospital, or orphanage records from local authorities in Vietnam.

  • $200 sponsors a full family search, giving an adoptee professional case management, document review, and a real chance to find their birth family.

  • $1,000 sponsors five full family searches, giving five adoptees a real chance to find their birth families.​​
