Crossing Continents to Find my Parents

Tuy Gentry Buckner was born in war-torn Vietnam in the 70s. His birth mother left him at an orphanage hoping he would have a better life. Tuy contracted polio when he was three, which left him disabled. Life changed for him when he was adopted by an American couple. He had a happy family life with them, but always dreamed of finding his birth mother. When he returned to Vietnam as a twenty year old Tuy met someone who said "I know your Mom". His unexpected journey led him across the world to find his birth family, his roots and his identity.
