This triggered me... nothing is what it seems Ekaterina, know that people lie. My adoption story was a journey through to the truth. Which means many lied that I trusted. I hope your journey is not like mine.

Great story. I hope there will be a followup when she finally gets to meet her birth mother.

Love this! May God bless all of you!❤️

Wonderful story - thanks for sharing

Алекс и Катя, это было очень трогательно!!! 😢😢❤❤❤❤❤

What an emotional story, I hope they are able to meet some day

Beautiful Kat. You are so brave and we are so so proud of you ❤

Well done.

Ekaterina's mother has a lovely kind, gentle face. I hope you both meet one day soon.

❤What an incredible story. So heartwarming. Kat is a very close friend of my daughter Kayla. They have been friends since Bethlehem College days. So happy for you Kat. Hope you meet your birth Mum real soon. Love Sandra Reade 😊

Congratulations on such an amazing video, can't wait to see your channel grow even bigger.

Thank you for sharing your story, you are such a lovely person. Thanks Alex for making this.

Thanks for sharing this Alex! I hope she can go see her bio mom soon. I feel sad for her bio mom being in that place. I do hope she’s taken care of well. It would be nice if she could bring her to NZ or here to the USA. I love your video stories. I love seeing bio families reconnecting ❤

Amazing story!

Очень трогательно.

Интересно!

Hola, nací en Rumania en el año 1973 y fui adoptada. Vivo en cuba desde mis 2 años y busco a mi madre biológica. La historia es un poco complicada. Si pudiera contar mi historia tal vez puedo acercarme un poco a mi búsqueda. Gracias

Very nice history I am glad you found him

You have a lovely relationship with your birth father, you seem so similar in your personalities. Makes you wonder about the Nature vs Nurture debate. Well the simple answer is we are both.

She resembles my cousin a lot

Your a wise man Alex, I am 60 and live in the UK and traced my birth family in 1994, it has been bitter sweet. It is good to do though and I don’t regret it. Take care.

I was born in 2004 in Krasnodar Russia and adopted at 11 months and raised in Texas, USA. Now at 20 I very recently started thinking abt my roots and birth family heavy. I have my birth mom’s full name, birthday, and birth city. It’d be a dream of mine to be able to meet anybody in my family whether it’s my actual birth mom or cousins or just anything. I’ve been very emotional recently thinking about it

Soooo sweet! 😍😍

Thank you

Love you work, inspiring 😊

Папа был гораздо больше рад встрече с сыном, чем мать. Кажется, что отец искренне рад, что у него есть прекрасный сын, хоть он и живёт в другой стране )) Алекс очень похож на своего настоящего папу!

Hi Alex! I remember I had followed your discovery journey some years ago but somehow I didn't think of you in years... until today. I was on the bus on my way home after work and I thought about your birth mother and the time you met your birth father and I hoped you all are okay and enjoying life. Greetings from Mexico City!

So beautiful, following Alex life story for years. I live in Wellington NZ. ❤

Alex, sometimes the unfamiliarity with cultural peculiarities which may lead to the precondition of a child being left in the orphanage is really a bliss. As the one who is closely acquainted with Russian culture I can say that not only economic conditions of these biological mothers and the whole razzle-dazzle in the country at the time contributed to their decisions to give up their kids, but also their utter sexual promiscuity. As alcoholism is much more pervasive in Russian and Ukrainian society than you can even imagine, even more than in warped Maori communities, the thing described in Russian with the verb "perepikhnut'sya", meaning "to have a coincidental sexual intercourse" is quite prevalent in the cases filmed in your videos. These women didn't contracept properly or just had hooked up under the influence of booze or something else, and then fobbed their kids off to orphanages, not necessarily because of dire life circumstances. When the reconnection takes place they expectedly don't want to show themselves in such a unmeritorious light and proceed to tell another story that might somehow justify their past move regarding the child. I see that just like your biological mom, the mother of this girl still struggles with alcohol addiction. It's what you can see and hear from her voice and the indicative face structure she got in the course of the years-long abuse. I know so many kids who were born "by accident" in a drinking spree, or those having been conceived as a result of rape, and whom mothers shuffled off to foster care institutions. Sorry for speaking my mind, Alex, but I think that even some of the health issues you might've had as a child you inherited because of your mom's excessive drinking or smoking during pregnancy. Good that she gave birth to you though, and that you've forgiven freely. Once you learn Russian and live in Russia for a longer while, you'll see how alcohol and spiritual vacuum ruin the life of the whole nation.

your mother is full of trauma. but she is loving. that's great

you're soooo respectfull and loving as a character!

Lovely lady. I used to imagine being a twin when I was a child.

Interesting that Victoria’s birth mother says her birth father is not a nice man, saying don’t go and see him. Wonder if the birth mother has stated why the birth father is not nice? If she has not said why, then I would take what she says with a pinch of salt.

You’re a good man Alex, keep up the good work you are inspirational.

Your a good man Alex, good for you for supporting your birth mother, I am sure you being in her life has given her both love and hope. I am adopted also so I understand your reasons. Best wishes, Hugh in England.

There is always a love for a birthmother.

BEST WISHES TO YOU

Your Russian has definitely improved

Usually you release a preview not long before the episode is ready to be aired….

And now Russia is a nation becoming increasingly aggressive and threatening. This will make Alex's connections more difficult to maintain.

You were so cute as a chubby child! 😍 This is the first video of yours that I've stumbled upon and I'm wondering about that tein story. Looks like I'll have to scroll back to a few years ago and look for that story.😅 Your lovely personality and kindness make me want to adopt babies lol. ❤😂

Hi, Alex...why do you always go to Russia and the USA in the winter time? LOL! You should go in the summer, which would be winter in New Zealand. I see that you're in middle-class America. Do you think middle-class America is much better than middle-class Russia? It certainly looks like people live better in America than Russia. The homes look much nicer in America than those small apartment flats in Russia.

Alex, you look more like your biological father than your bio mother. You really do! Greetings from the USA! 😃🖐🏻

Hello everyone! For an exciting reason, I have to put the release date of the 2024 series on hold. As soon as I can share information, I will here on my channel. Apologies for the wait but it's all worth it. I am out filming these stories at the moment and I am looking forward to sharing them to the world. (Just some exciting changes on the series with its development) Thank you!

You have the same smile as Misha!

В Архангельске живут добрейшие люди. Я там провела свое детство, а теперь вот живу в Новой Зеландии. Спасибо за вашу историю.

She probably never knew real love from her parents and she's desperate for being loved and not judged. Amazing that you Alex have a massive heart like a real Russian. ♥️

My nephew was adopted in 1998 from Ulynovsk, Russia. I was fortunate to travel there to meet him and bring him to his home in California. How can he start the research? We have all papers in both languages!

My mother was adopted her last name was lewis anybody out there😢

I can feel the love your father has for you❤
