Sunshine Deleon is planing another story on the Amerasians and would like to film a father meeting their child in the Philippines. Does anyone know of any father/child reunions happening around the end of June. Ask everyone you know please.

Are you a Vietnam Veteran who is looking for their Amerasian child, or have you found them already? We are searching for fathers or families of a Veteran who live in the US, specifically in South Carolina, Missouri, Georgia, and DC area.

Well it is a new congress, thus we have to start over on getting a bill introduced. I am currently looking for veterans in South Carolina who are willing to contact Senator Graham's office in support of the Uniting Families Act. Senator Graham has told 1 of our fathers in the group that he will support this legislation if we show him more veterans in South Carolina trying to be reunited with their children. If you know someone in South Carolina who is trying to be reunited with their child please have them PM me or have them contact Senator Grahams office directly. If you are an Amerasian trying to find their father please contact Chelle Reed at warbabies.org or Angelia at Fathers Founded.

It’s more than just thanking a Veteran. We here at WarBabies would love to connect with those who have served, to hear their stories and honor their memories.

Please share about your time in the service or your beloved Veteran.
