| 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. |
| 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 those whom they believe is 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. Disclaimer: The information in the AFF website has been posted by an Amerasian or American parent who claims that it is accurate. As such, it is the policy of AFF that each Amerasian/American parent is also responsible for determining when it should be removed by notifying AFF. |

| 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. - Pearl S. Buck, East Wind: West Wind (1930) |
