Protecting our Mothers

I am an Amerasian. A Japanese Amerasian. Children of War. I formed the Amerasian Foundation to help my fellow Amerasians. With the help of AAHope Foundation and the Amerasian Childfind Network, I came to Vietnam to continue my work. I was lucky, from Saigon, I was able to create a Global Network of organizations helping Amerasians and other Children of War from around the world. Together we helped search and reunite Amerasians, and Adoptees, with their Asian mothers or American fathers.

I will be blunt, the majority of people really are not interested in the plight of Amerasians around the world. It is so easy to label us the sons and daughters of prostitutes. Whether we are in the US, Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, or Vietnam, we endure this harsh label. Our mother's endure it even more but they teach us to walk with our heads up. I always like meeting mothers of Amerasians since they really make me feel proud of who I am and of my Japanese mother.

In return, I vow to always protect the mothers of Amerasians. W, Amerasians, owe this to our mothers.

I am an Amerasian.
