While traveling, families often wish to reconnect with people and places important in the life of their son or daughter. Reminiscing is an important part of the journey and these points of connection provide a foundation for your child. The Ties Program is pleased to assist by requesting permission to visit orphanages, exploring the possibility of meeting foster families, birth families, and orpha
nage caretakers, and making arrangements to see other places important to your family’s story such as the hotel where your family first met, a hospital, place of finding, or birth village. Families will travel with an English speaking guide to assist with and personalize the visits. Here are some of the people and places families have or hope to visit as part of their journey to Vietnam. See something missing? Or, are there other people or places on your “dream list?” Please email us. We are always open to helping you with other connections. An Giang Orphanage
