One spring morning, Vietnamese American Brian Hester went to a meeting of first generation Vietnamese adoptees in Maryland with no inkling that it would change his life forever.

 

At that event, Hester, whose Vietnamese name is Cao Hung Phi, met many others adoptees with similar stories of being adopted during the Vietnam War. The gathering was hosted by Holt International, a humanitarian organization based in Oregon, U.S., 21 years ago.

 

After talking with several other adoptees, Hester was overwhelmed that finally someone truly understood growing up feeling alone and different.
