In summary, she was an orphan from the That Kao Orphanage and was adopted by a doctor and her husband who was an American diplomat in the late 1960s. Now all grown up having lived in America, married and with a child of her own, she still retains a strong desire to find out who her family were and to learn more about her roots. And understandably so. Check out the article and spread the word - perhaps someone might recognize the pictures and have an idea of where she came from or who her family were.
This is no doubt a huge challenge as there is very little records left to go on. Moreover, at the time of her birth and adoption there was a lot turmoil in Laos. Miracles can happen though. We hope she succeeds!

Side note: This article made us wonder how many other Lao orphans were adopted by foreigners as this is not typical. If you know of any others, please comment below.
