In April 1975, five-year-old Mỹ Hương was airlifted from Vietnam to Australia in the chaotic final days of the war. Her childhood was shaped by displacement, hardship, and an enduring longing for home. When she returned to Vietnam in 2004, she believed she had finally found her family. For 14 years, she lived under that belief—until the shocking truth emerged. Her real mother found her, DNA testing confirmed her true identity, and she was later connected to her American father’s family. After nearly five decades of living under a false identity, she was at last able to reclaim her true self.
Guided by compassion and resilience, Mỹ Hương has dedicated her life to service. She has supported orphans and rural communities in Africa, worked in addiction recovery in Australia, and mentored disadvantaged children in Vietnam. Over the years in Vietnam, she has also provided direct assistance to poor children, families, and the elderly—helping with education, food, housing, and medical expenses.

For more than fifteen years, she served as Vice-Director and then Director of Nhà Xã Hội Long Hải (Social House Long Hai), providing care and education to vulnerable children. As both an adoptee and an adoptive mother of two sons, she understands the complexities of adoption firsthand—an experience that fuels her commitment to ethical, truth-based reunion practices.
Her leadership extends beyond Con Tìm Mẹ. She serves on the Red Cross board in Thới Lai and previously served on the Agent Orange Association board in Vũng Tàu. In recognition of her advocacy, she was nominated for the Australian of the Year Award in 2019.
Today, as Executive Director and Co-Founder of Con Tìm Mẹ, Mỹ Hương leads a global initiative dedicated to reuniting families separated by war and adoption through DNA testing and honest, compassionate search services. Having endured the pain of a false family, she is now a strong advocate for DNA testing—the most reliable way to uncover the truth and prevent others from similar heartbreak.
Dividing her time between the Mekong Delta and Vũng Tàu, she lives with her birth family, having found peace in belonging. Mỹ Hương’s emotional reunion story has been featured in multiple media outlets, including this article by ABC.
