330 8 $aA fascinating story for anyone interested in the adoption of vulnerable mixed-race children abandoned in the aftermath of war.When Rena Briand adopted Tuyen, a Vietnamese orphan, and successfully brought her to Australia, dozens of families aspired to do the same. Rena Briand's "The Waifs" is a compelling story about battling officialdom with resilience and determination. A tale on how a handful of compassionate women fought to get a few Vietnamese waifs to Australia. Their opponents were formidable -conniving politicianshypocritical church leadersracist social workersand the phony "charitables" of Toorak. A moving and courageous story.
