This Vietnamese Man Has Adopted Over 100 Kids From Mothers Who Couldn't Take Care Of Them

A man in Vietnam, Tong Phuoc Phuc, has adopted 100 children from mothers who abandoned them because they didn¡¯t have the means to feed one more mouth.

It started in 2001 when his wife was pregnant. At the hospital, the former construction worker noticed that pregnant women were entering the room next door to his wife¡¯s but nurses were coming out without a child. Soon he realised what was going on. Children were being aborted in the room next door. He asked the hospital authorities if he could take the aborted children to give them a proper burial, at the very least.

To do so, he brought a land on top of a mountain called Hon Thom in the city of Nha Trang and began burying babies under the sometimes blue, sometimes stormy sky. He started this selfless act in 2001 and since then he has buried more than 10,000 babies. His real wish, however, was to save them. Mothers heard about Phuc and those who didn¡¯t have the means to support their children gave their children to him to foster. His intention was to take care of them till the mothers were financially and mentally secure to take care of them again. What started off as a graveyard has become a special home to more than 100 children. These children are Phuc¡¯s, each and every one of them. He cares for them like they are his own.

He said, ¡°I will continue this work till my last breath.

¡°I hope my own kids will continue helping people when I¡¯m one.¡±
