War Baby = Human Being
A war baby is someone born to a U.S. soldier and a mother from another country, usually during or after a time of war. These children were typically born when American military personnel were stationed overseas, whether during active conflict or in peacetime service. In most cases, the U.S. parent is the father, though in rare cases it may be the mother.
Every war baby’s story is different. Some were born from loving relationships. Others came from brief encounters. And tragically, some were conceived through assault. No matter the circumstances, these children were born into complex situations, and they matter. Their lives matter. They deserve to know their history and the truth of where they come from.
Below are some videos that show the wide range of this issue.
