Three Vietnamese Adoptees and a Blog

I’m very excited and pleased to announce the opening of Misplaced Baggage:

The first of its kind, Misplaced Baggage is the collaborative effort of three Vietnamese adult adoptees from diverse backgrounds. We were brought together through our interest in contributing to the Vietnamese adoptee community. Noticing a lack of critical representation, we came together to offer an alternate perspective on Vietnamese adoptee history and experience.

The title Misplaced Baggage is the brainchild of Anh Ðào Kolbe. Although it may hold a different meaning for each of us, collectively it represents our transient existence and the uncertainty through which we navigate.

For anyone who doesn’t know by now, it’s been a dream of mine to find and work with other Vietnamese adoptee bloggers. Being able to work with two people I can both admire and respect, Anh Ðào Kolbe (welcome to blogosphere!) and Kevin Minh Allen makes this all the more meaningful. Each of us share many parallels yet bring something different to the table because of our individual talents, diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

I think it’s the beginning of great things to come!
