Con Tìm Mẹ : Helping Vietnam War Adoptees Reconnect with Their Birth Mothers

Helping Adoptees Find Their Birth Mothers

We're incredibly excited to announce a special collaboration between Adoptive Threads and Con Tìm Mẹ — an organization doing deeply meaningful work to help Vietnamese war adoptees reconnect with their birth families, especially their birth mothers.

This partnership is about more than just shirts. It's about identity, connection, and hope.


Why This Partnership Matters

For many adoptees, the journey of discovering where we came from is one of the most powerful and emotional experiences of our lives.

That belief is what led to this collaboration with Con Tìm Mẹ — which translates to "Child Searching for Mother."

Con Tìm Mẹ works tirelessly to help Vietnamese adoptees:

  • Search for birth mothers and family members
  • Conduct DNA research and case investigations
  • Navigate records and historical adoption information
  • Reconnect families separated by adoption

For many adoptees, this work creates the possibility of something life-changing: a reunion decades in the making.

Founder of Adoptive Threads, Steven George, understands this journey personally. As a Vietnamese adoptee, Steve has long believed that adoptees deserve access to their heritage, their stories, and the opportunity to reconnect with their biological families whenever possible.


A Shirt That Supports Reconnection

To celebrate this partnership, Con Tìm Mẹ has created a special collection of shirts whose designs reflect the spirit of the adoptee journey — exploration, identity, resilience, and connection.

And here's the most exciting part:

100% of the proceeds from this merchandise will go directly to support Con Tìm Mẹ's mission.

That means every shirt purchased helps fund:

  • Birth mother search efforts
  • DNA matching programs
  • Investigative research
  • Reunification support for adoptees and families

Your purchase literally helps make reunions possible.


Wear Your Story

At Adoptive Threads, we believe clothing can be more than something you wear.

It can be a conversation starter, a statement of identity, and a way to support a meaningful cause.

When you wear one of these shirts, you're helping share the adoptee story with the world — and supporting others who are still searching for pieces of their own story.


The Journey Continues

This collaboration is just the beginning.

Together, Adoptive Threads and Con Tìm Mẹ hope to expand awareness about adoptee search efforts and help more adoptees reconnect with the families they've been separated from.

Because every adoptee deserves the opportunity to ask the most important questions:

Where do I come from?
Who is my family?
And where does my story begin?


Join the Mission

We invite you to explore the new Adoptive Threads × Con Tìm Mẹ collection and be part of something bigger.

Every shirt purchased helps bring an adoptee one step closer to finding their birth mother.

Wear your story. Support the journey. Help reunite families.

🌏💙
