The lives of two Vietnamese twin girls adopted in Canada are always watched by the media of this country and the world because of the special story about the liver to be transplanted and the people who saved and took care of the two babies.

Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Johanne Wagner are now happy with their two Vietnamese daughters

Willing to donate part of the liver for adoption

Last year, Canadian media published the pitiful story of two unfortunate Vietnamese babies, Binh and Phuoc Wagner, living in Canada, who needed a liver transplant to survive.

And at that time, the adoptive father was ready to donate a portion of the liver to his child. But the doctor said he can only donate 1 in 2 children.

Because Phuoc was more seriously ill, he received a liver transplant first, while Binh had to wait for a donor.

In 2012, when the family of Mr. Michael and Mrs. Johanne Wagner met two twins at an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City in a weak condition and decided to adopt.

“In my heart, I knew I would do something for these two girls,” Johanne told The Star, “when they saw the two girls.

Time to be adopted, 2 babies are only 18 months old. And more than two years later, the doctor said that the two children had an inherited disorder and needed a liver transplant to live.

After being told by the doctor that only one of the two children could be donated, both Michael and his wife were "crazy" posting information everywhere to find someone to save their child.

Ms. Johanne and Mr. Michael have 9 children, of which 4 were adopted in Vietnam. The two youngest children are Binh and Phuoc. While Mr. Michael had to undergo surgery to donate the liver to his daughter, Johanne had to carry the whole family by herself and take care of nine children.

The Wagner family started adopting children in Vietnam 11 years ago. Michael is a soldier serving in the Canadian army in Afghanistan.

And with the very touching story of the Wagner family published by the world press, more than 600 people have signed up to voluntarily donate a portion of the liver to the remaining baby. And one of them was chosen after the hospital tests. But the savior of the Wagner family wants anonymity.

Anonymous Vietnamese made the press curious

The story happened over a year ago but is hard to forget.

The anonymous person was only known to everyone a few months ago. He is a young man now 21 years old, named Kris Chung, who is also of Vietnamese descent. He lives near the Wagners home, and is studying at the Royal Kingston Military College, in Ontario, Canada.

To be able to donate the liver to Binh, Kris had to hide his family and teachers at the school to go to Toronto General Hospital to do tests.

And one April evening, when he got a call from his doctor telling him the surgery would take place the next morning, he was anxious to get permission from school to leave school for surgery.

After the surgery, he said he was still feeling fine even though he had lost a few pounds and had a scar along his stomach the length of a pen.

According to CBC, his study is also 1 year delayed compared to the normal schedule. Only Kris's brother knows he does this. Only two weeks after the surgery he let his family and teachers know.

He told the teacher at school about his story and was given a month's rest to recover, but it took up to 4 months to participate in physical activities at school.

Speaking on The Star, Kris said that he monitored Binh's health through Canadian media continuously reported at that time and was happy to know that Binh was getting better day by day after the surgery.

Besides, Kris also follows Ms. Johanne's Facebook. And they just met in April this year after Mrs. Johanne discovered he frequently "liked" the twins' photos and commented on them.

Since then, Binh and Phuoc are 5 years old.

The lives of two Vietnamese girls in those days are very different now, because every day, the young man who donates liver still visits and plays with the children every day. Kris is no longer a stranger, but a close member of the Wagner family.

Every day, Kris visits Mrs. Johanne's house after school and plays with her twins.

Both Kris and Ms. Johanne are working for a non-profit organization called Twins for Hope, an organization that provides accommodation, health care and learning support for Vietnamese orphans.
