Born in Thanh Hoa, Malia did not grow up in the embrace of her biological parents due to difficult circumstances. Life led her to France at a very young age, where she was adopted. Though she had a peaceful childhood in a faraway land, Malia Bakeon always carried a deep yearning in her heart — to know who she really was, where she came from, and who brought her into this world.
A 28-Year Journey to Reconnect With Her Roots
For nearly three decades, Malia never stopped thinking about her biological parents. Faint childhood memories gave her the determination to embark on the journey to find her birth family. That journey was far from easy. But thanks to the support of the Vietnamese community, the spread of information through the media, and especially the advances in DNA testing at GENTIS, Malia gradually moved closer to the truth of her origins.
Then, on a special day, a miracle happened: she found her biological parents in Vietnam — after 28 long years of separation. A reunion that had once only existed in the dreams of a little girl finally became reality.
