Long, a half-Vietnamese and half-American boy, was one of over a million children left orphaned during the Vietnamese Conflict when he arrived at Holt Center, an American adoption agency in Saigon. The agency found a place for Long with the Steiners, a family in Ohio, but first they had to help him-and four hundred other children-escape Saigon before it fell to Communist forces. Black-and-white photographs. Bibliography.
