hello my name is Jamie i have been with my childrens father for 10 years. He is a refugee who came to the us when he was just 4 years old and has never been back since. Early on in his adult life he got into some minor trouble and went to jail a few times his charges were dui and conceiving stolan goods he has been out of trouble for over a decade but has has a deportation order set ever since then. From what I have heard recently the us put an offer on the table for laos to start excepting these depotees back. And I am horribly scared for if he gets sent back I would not want me or my kids to have a life without him because he is a wonderful father and husband despite the few mistakes he made as a younge adult. So if possible we would also move to laos however we only have a few thousand dollars saved up. I do not know how we would survive with 4 children is there jobs available because we have no family in the us to help us out financially and by the time we get there it will basically just be us with barely no money< we also know not one single person in Laos. The questions are endless and the worry is gut wrenching being born and raised in America I have no clue about Laos life nor does my husband. I just need some advice if it would even be possible for us to move there and find work and let alone survive. Any advice that can be offered is appriciated. Thank you. And please dont judge we are actually a very nice family. :)

You would not survive very long at all if you came over to Laos. As you stated you know no one here and have no family here.
You would not be able to find work.
You have no knowledge of Laos and Lao people which is not a good thing.
You and your family would be like any other expat / western family coming here and would need lots of money to get you into accommodation etc.
As an expat, married here in Laos with a family I find it hard sometimes to understand Lao people and their customs
I respectfully suggest you do not come over as you will be extremely disappointed, lonely and wanting to get back to USA.
