Welcome to Racines Vietnam – Where Identity, Culture, and Journey Meet
Racines Vietnam is a blog and showcase site dedicated to Asia, Vietnam, and adoption.
Born from my personal journey as a child adopted from Vietnam, raised in France, and now living again in Ho Chi Minh City, this site serves as a bridge between two worlds — a space for sharing, discovery, and cultural transmission.
