From Very Vietnam:
By constructing a building with the name “Tiên PhÆ°á»›c 2 Temple and gathering orphaned children to raise, a so-called “nun has quickly become rich with money from sympathetic donors…
At the end of an alleyway, stood a three-storey house with yellow paint on its exterior, a spacious interior and a Buddha statuette ”“ exactly the place “nun Nguyá»…n Thị Vân tá»± referred to as a “temple for orphans.
The ground floor was an area for storing donated goods, while the first floor was the “nun’s air-conditioned bedroom. The entire second floor served as the eating and play area for 13 children of various ages.
There was little Nguyá»…n Thanh Hoa Sen, a 3 year-old, whose face was constantly grimacing because a bluish-purple buise swelled on her forehead. Little Nguyá»…n Thanh PhÆ°Æ¡ng was a handsome 3-year old child with fair skin, but had white scales on his scalp due to a fungal infection and hair falling out in pieces.
There were partitions on each bed as infants and toddlers up to 3 slept next to each other. But they would scratch with each other’s faces, and even newborns would sometimes get crushed. On the hard tiled floor, an older child knocked a younger child over, causing the little one to scream in tears.
While we were there, we happened to meet a group of visitors who came in with a large cartons of powdered milk.
Mrs. N.T.H., who was part of the group, disclosed that “In our experience, you have to peel open the milk tub like this so that the children will hopefully get to drink it. Otherwise she’ll get a trader to sell all the milk.
According to the stories of many neighbours, usually during weekend evenings, “nun Vân would make calls to vendors outside and arrange to sell all the various donated milk given by people who came to the temple…
After donating lots of money for the care of unfortunate children for a long time, many well-meaning families discovered that Mrs. Vân was indeed a fake. Her work was not done out of charity, but instead being used for selfish greed.
A lot of money and goods were donated for charity, but Mrs. Vân collected the proceeds to buy land and build houses. All the while, the children were left in deprivation, and sick…
Mrs. T.L.P., a forum member of a charity, explained: “She wants all the children to suffer and be sick. That way, she can easily ask patrons to donate. Hoa Quỳnh has symptoms of cerebral palsy, with scabies sores all over her body, but Mrs. Vân leaves her in a crib outside for all visitors to see, eliciting pity to collect money.

This makes me sick to my stomach to think about. I went and read the full article and comments that were left by neighbors of this “temple”. This kind of stuff is what makes Vietnam adoption so confusing. There are so many people suffering and so many others ready to exploit them..
