Kim worked as a child maid and helper to a family with an American GI husband in Saigon in her early teenage years. Her mother lived in poverty and needed Kim and her sister's salary in order to raise her other children, so the two sisters were put to work. Kim had a chance to go to America where the family didn't allow her to go to school or go outside. She was basically a prisoner. Eventually, she escaped by faking a pregnancy and she had to move away to another state. When she came back, the family who brought her over disappeared along with Kim's background. Only the American GI's wife knew of Kim's origins but she was cruel and evil. She didn't even mail all of Kim's letters back to her mother. Her mother was never told of her whereabouts or condition. Years passed. No clue, no names, no known locations, everything was a faint memory to Kim until the family who brought her over's son was found by Jon after endless days and weeks of searching. He provided an important clue to the whole mystery with the form of an address and that's where I came into the picture.

    What got me was her mum. After all those years and a stroke, she knew who her daughter was and reached out for her the split second she came into her view. That was just amazing to see and a testament to a true mothers love. She will always know who her babies are ❤
  • Not one word was spoke the mother knew exactly who she was when she walked in & cried a deep mourning cry. I’m bawling! A mother’s love!
  • @carlworrall
    Her husband is a legend and every woman should want a man like that, well done you sir
  • Kim is my sister-in-law, it gives me great joy to know she has finally found her family. Jon, all the work you did putting this journey together. It must give you great joy. Thank you Kyle, for all you did for Kim. You did a wonderful job with this video, it was a truly unbelievable story.
  • Poor mom, oh man tears just ran down my face. She knew right away that was her baby. Some people suffer so much! Thank God she survived to see her again.
  • @Sienna1919
    As someone who lost her mother as a teenager, I was just completed broken down when her mother was still alive. Even after that stroke she held on and was able to see her daughter again. Truly one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen.
  • This proves the power of mothers, the SECOND she saw her daughter her hand went out to grasp her, she went through a STROKE that almost killed her, yet she STILL recognized her baby girl, a mothers love is the most powerful force on Earth
  • @joannreyes1773
    Omg, when her mom sees her she automatically knew, even with a stroke. That just made me ball 😪😪😪
  • @krothery1
    Kim's story is almost identical to my mom's! From being kidnapped during the Vietnam War and basically imprisoned as a child maid to escaping to another state. They have since got in touch via phone (incredible story within itself), but she has yet been able to go back and visit. I used to ask as a kid why and she would always respond that she was scared and lack of money. It has been my goal since I was young to take her back home to visit. Although her parents have passed, I still want to reunite her with her siblings.

    I lost it when her Mom looked at her and began crying. What an amazing Husband to have done this for her entire family!
  • @sangosister
    (SPOILER) Bless the man that took the time to give them a proper burial, instead of leaving them for the wild.He took the time and energy to make sure they had a resting place
  • @viktortsoi3994

  • "But these days you are fat", gotta love the Vietnamese way of showing they care <3
