Sixty-five of the babies had paperwork for adoption in Canada and Naomi was determined to save them from the Cambodian genocide of 1.7 million people that was about to begin.

Did you contact the publisher of the photo? Are/were you the baby she's holding? What's your mom's name? Is she still alive?

Unfortunately, that photo does not appear on the linked article, nor on the Wayback Machine copy.

However, this link has more images of her which might lead to more information.

Why would someone post something like this and not bother to follow up at all?
