Cath Turner examines the consequences of 'Operation Babylift' at the end of the Vietnam war.
'Operation Babylift' was one of the defining events of the Vietnam War and its legacy will continue for many years. The world is unlikely to ever see anything like it again.
It was at the end of the war in 1975, when under 'Operation Babylift' thousands of Vietnamese children were removed from the country and put up for adoption across the Western world.
Al Jazeera's Cath Turner was one of those children - an Asian child growing up in white Australia.
In this episode of Al Jazeera Correspondent, Cath returns to her native and adopted homeland to explore the psychological effects of transnational adoption on these Vietnamese babies.
