Children evacuated during Vietnam War's Operation Babylift on a quest to find families | ABC NEWS
Children evacuated during Vietnam War’s Operation Babylift are on a quest to find their families.
Elizabeth Wray was 18 months old and Rohan Samara just two months old when they were brought to Australia during Operation Babylift.
Last month, they joined a group of 13 adoptees who cycled almost 300 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City to Sóc Trăng over four days.
They heard stories of mothers returning to orphanages after the war, asking for their children back. In return, they distributed food packages and 100 DNA kits.
