Looking For Amerasian Son

[jakecaldwell]

Looking for son I left behind during Viet Nam war. He would have been born sometime in 1968. I don't remember his mother's name but her nickname was Thim. She was an elementary school teacher in Chaing Mai. He would be blonde headed and probably blue eyed. I do not wish to reveal my real name at this time. I was 24 years old in 1967. I was in the USA Air Force in Chaing Mai. Contact me at [email protected].

Sounds like you've never met him, so your really not sure want he may look like, the mother's name would be helpful, if your serious start with the Embassy(s), the Red Cross and adoption agencies, etc.

Chances are that your son will have been looking for you too. He may or may not be residing in Thailand because of the Orderly Departure Program that took place in the 70s and 80s. It also depends on what nationality he was awarded - Thai, or Vietnamese?

The site for the Orderly Departure Program is here:

All the very best of luck.

I can't imagine the son you left behind/abandoned 37 years ago would be too interested in meeting you after all this time.

I read that you don't wish to use your name, so how about I just call you Jake.

We all do some stupid and crazy things in life. Some of these things are completely senseless and irresponsible. But f'*ing up a childs life is extra damnsight irresponsible.

I can also see that there may have been circumstances that would have prohibited you from WANTING to reveal this incident, maybe like a previous family or marriage. But what in the He*l would take you 37 years to decide to find the son you previously denied a name, and father too??? Could be nothing, I would guess except for your own personal gratification, and has nothing to do with the son.

Personally I hope he is and has been looking for you , if only to teach you some sense of responsibility in your old age.....and kick your A**

It is seriously unlikely for mixed Thai-Western kids to have blue eyes and blonde hair.. Simply not the dominant gene..

For whatever reason he has for contacting his son, it does not entitle you to pass judgement on his past actions. You do not know the story, and he is not obliged to provide it to you. He has asked for help. Either provide it or don't post - you are being obstructionist.

A son always needs his father...no matter what age he is.

Depends on the father.

You all don't think this is perhaps slightly, shall we say, trollish?

I mean, really re-read the entire post, including the guys email and user name!!!

And you know, now that I think about it, it really is against Thai Visa policy to allow these kinds of searches. Try it someplace less public.

That is, if you are real.
