A Vietnam veteran has shared the beautiful moment he was finally able to meet his Amerasian daughter for the first time, more than 50 years after he was forced to leave the country when the war ended and lost all contact with his Vietnamese wife, who was six months pregnant at the time. Bob Andron, 77, was legally married to Linda Throng's mom, Lin, while he lived in Vietnam between January 1970 and January 1971. A sergeant with the United States Air Force, Bob was an English specialist and an English language instructor, improving airmen’s use of the language. But after a year of service, Bob, was forced to leave and had no way of keeping in contact with Lin, given that he didn't have her Vietnamese last name when he left for the United States. For decades, Bob wondered what became of Lin and his child, until one day he received a call out of the blue from genealogist, Kristee Mays, who specializes in reuniting veterans with lost biological family members.

I can perfectly relate meeting my dad the first time at age 52. He didn't know I existed didn't even know my mom was pregnant when he left the Philippines. I was already a widow with 4 grown up children and 9 grandchildren when I found him. From the very first time I found him in the internet and talked to him on the phone, it took me 8 months calling him every single day checking on him as he was living alone and sickly and already 80 years old. I did all I can to be able to visit him here in the US in 2016 and took care of him . He never got married and I am his only child. I took care of him until he drew his last breath. My dad was poor and a recluse but he had a very beautiful heart. If I have to live my life again , I will never wish for another dad but him. The few years we were together, he left me the most beautiful memories I will cherish the rest of my life. He was my childhood dream come true, and I was a miracle for him. Finding him was one of the very best things that has happened to me.

After meeting her for the first time, she has become a most loved part of our family and I'm happy to say everyone fully accepted her and loves her so much. Like this girl, my daughter calls me often, always wanting to know how I'm feeling, my health, etc. I just wish so much that I had found out about so many years ago. This experience lead me to become involved with helping other Vietnamese find their American fathers. Sadly, so many either deny they have a child, even when presented overwhelming evidence, or they outright reject them. What POS's those type of men are.

@@CabinFever52This man was married to his daughter’s Mother but majority of the American servicemen were married to American women back in the states. Many servicemen had babies born from one night stands with Vietnamese women overseas. There’s many documentaries online of orphanages with 1/2 White 1/2 Vietnamese and/or 1/2 White 1/2 African American children physically disabled and/or mentally delayed due to various reasons esp the chemical effects of agent orange the American serviceman sprayed to rid of the jungle plants during Vietnam war. The chemicals affected the water and fertility. Other orphans were left behind due to shame of being born of wedlock Vietnamese Mothers. Very sad.

@SRose-vp6ew Год назад

Sometimes women don’t even tell the guy they are pregnant if they just rather cut ties with the guy. That or giving the child up for adoption is an alternative to abortion. That said obviously it’s best to be in a committed marriage before acting like you’re married or saying your committed when clearly your not. I am very happy that families are reuniting. It’s awful that women keep or get rid of the fathers kid and men don’t even always know. I’ve had friends abort kids, hide kids, and put kids up for adoption all because they weren’t ready for marriage and family, but did the stuff that you do when you’re married that leads to a family. But even though there might have been lost years in these cases, they don’t have to be lost moving forward.

@@bhadwamodi8294 There were many sad stories happened in war for both Vietnamese and Americans. Without knowing the details, one could not know for sure. After the war, both countries did not establish normal relationship until 20 years later. People on both sides had to move on with their lives. As active soldier, one had to follow order to leave or to stay. Once the communists overran the South, how could he get back to Vietnam to look for her? Vietnam between 1975 to 1995 was like an Eastern block Communist country where normal Westerners were not welcomed and viewed with suspicion. There were Vietnamese parents, in the last days of the war, handed their children to strangers who had ticket to leave Vietnam knowing their kids future would be better with strangers than to stay back home with them under the communists.

These stories always choke me up as someone who's father walked out on them. I've met him only once 15 years ago, and it was not planned. Complete coincidence. It was awkward, and uncomfortable. Even at age 15 I could tell he didnt want to see or talk to me and I found out later that several members of that side of the family didnt even know I existed at all. It always hurt to know my father wants absolutely nothing to do with me, but is happy to raise his three younger children (my half siblings). Seeing stories like this makes me envious in a way, but also restores my faith a bit too. Maybe one day my father will see the light.

@BRIANDER100 Год назад

what's your relationship like with his side of the family and your half siblings ?

@oscardunn4769 Год назад

So sorry for your experience....hard not to feel anger and resentment for such rejection...but hang in there....things might yet turn around...I could never reject my child...no matter what. I stayed in dysfunctional marriage for 31yrs...estranged for many years...but I HAD to see my children EVERY DAY...not negotiable...until they were educated and could fend for themselves...and still have a great relationship with all three of them...and their spouces.

@Oswald_Thatendswald Год назад

@BRIANDER100 it's surprisingly good actually. My older brother and sister make effort to talk to me and invite me to things, though unfortunately we live in different states now so it's hard to get together as often. I finally met my 2 younger brothers for the first time a couple years ago when one of them turned 21. He told our older sister to invite me to the party so he could finally meet me, which I had been waiting and hoping for for years to be honest. I figured if I was patient, that eventually they would reach out to me once they were out of his house and no longer bound to his rules, and when they finally did, it really felt good. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to meet my youngest sister, as she just turned 18, but I have hope for that some day too. Even my cousins on that side of the family (who only met me once almost 15 years ago) still to this day make an effort to check up on me on a regular basis. He's pretty much the only one who pretends I don't exist.

@Oswald_Thatendswald Год назад

@oscardunn4769 thank you. I appreciate that. I commend you for your situation. To be in a bad relationship for so long for the sake of your kids takes courage. It's clear you love them very much and they are lucky to have you.

I long for the day that I will finally be able to hug my little sister again. When my mother kicked me out, she never let me see her again. She was 10, now she is turning 18 in a few months. I cannot imagine waiting 50 years to hold her, but if this is what it takes, I will. Stories like this give me the strength to hold on to hope. Thank you ❤

Leaving an ex wife behind who was 6 months pregnant and not going back at a later date is unforgivable!..It must have been tough on the girls mother having a child from an American father..He just chose to move on with his life and forget his past..Their must be a little more to this than meets the eye.

Dad's down here (good or bad) are NOT Forever. But we honor our father and our mother because they give us the opportunity to live ETERNALLY with JESUS, the Lover of our souls. My son is still mourning and trying to figure out life. 50 years ago I was atheist, but JESUS saved me! AMEN! I discovered I was NOT born to die and go to Hell! PAPA GOD touched me when I asked Him in the name of JESUS! That was CHRISTMAS EVE in 1972! I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🎄💝🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️
