Amerasian Family Finder

While the definition of an Amerasian varies, the A.F.F. defines an Amerasian as: any person
who was fathered by a citizen of the United States (an American servicemen, American
expatriate, or U.S. Government Employee Regular or Contract) and whose mother is, or was, an
Asian National. (Amerasian Foundation).
Largely due in part to wars such as Vietnam, the Korean War, and even WWII, many children
were born to American servicemen in various Asian countries such as the Philippines,
Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, and Japan. In the Philippines alone, there are over
50, 000 Amerasian children.

What does Amerasian Family Finder (AFF) do?

A.F.F is an all volunteer, non-profit organization, dedicated to the reunification of Amerasian
children from the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and Korea, with their biological
American father, mother, or other extended family member(s) in the USA. When possible, we
provide information and resources to those actively searching for their American family in
order to locate them and lend support in our discussion group for Amerasians worldwide.

A.F.F. also welcomes Americans who wish to post their search for their biological child. Though
it is not our main focus, AFF has had experience with Amerasians who found their biological
father posted on our website.

Welcome to
Amerasian Family Finder

He will have his own world to make. Being neither East or West purely, he will be rejected of
each, for none will understand him. But I think, if he has the strength of both his parents, he will understand
both worlds, and so overcome.

AFF strongly recommends everyone watch the movie
The Beautiful Country starring Nick Nolte, Tim Roth,
and Damien Nguyen. It is the story of an Amerasian

and everyone should see it.
It can be rented at your local video store
