I am from the Philippines and I came across your channel while roving Ytube and from that time on keep on following your journey with great interest. I always have a passive attitude about adoption but after viewing your videos it somehow changed my perspective on the issue. Thank your for giving me a whole universe of knowledge of one being adopted and it's process. Thank you so much Alex!

I think it's great you found your birth family and got to know your heritage and learn Russian

[@michellem9275]

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Your Russian is coming along nicely. I am so glad you are embracing your heritage. Both cultures are a special part of you. 💖

[@georgepetrin1334]

Our identities will always be a part of who we are. Alex, just wondering, have you been able to secure a copy of your Russian birth certificate?

[@alexgilbert]

Hello George! Yes I do have mine :-)

[@robinellison6708]

It's wonderful you found your birth parents and are speaking Russian. The doll, doesn't it come apart in the middle and there are more inside?

[@sharaimakara9578]

l like that Russian hat and its nice see you embrace both cultures

[@katherinekeon7034]

You're correct to want to know about your blood Heritage. I think just innately genetically your body screams to know your roots. How wonderful that you have a stable loving adopted family. Who I feel-bad to even say, 'adopted.' As they love in a way that you are all but from their loins. Your life is a wonderful blend of your biological parents and your adopted parents. You should know your heritage. It's so exciting to be learning it alongside you. Thank you for your wonderful life and video's.

Alex, there will always be people little discourage you from where you come from. At the end of the day you're the one has to be comfortable in your own skin so be proud of the Russian side. Keep learning and growing have a good week.

I would think that decanter figure would be for vodka 😉

[@MKUltra-ti8ts]

Интересно ... Зеландцы как относятся к твоему отличному английскому, удивлены наверное ??)

[@sohvren4747]

нет, спасибо *тебе*

[@omg7108]

Только представьте. Александр мог бы жить в России быть типичным русским парнем. Мог бы стать призывником хах

[@muhammadridzwan5909]

2022...not a good time to be associated with Russia

[@IDE45--]

ALEX there is russian culture but there is no New Zealand culture.

[@alexgilbert]

Bring around New Zealand 🇳🇿 is part of my New Zealand culture! Being here. Being raised here :)

[@IDE45--]

I am very happy for you for this reunion with your father but you should never forget those who raised you, educated you. the first meeting was magical. What made this meeting easier for you is because you had no hard feelings or hatred, it proves that you are a good guy. I send you a big greeting from FRANCE

[@alexgilbert]

@@IDE45-- Thanks Adesso. I always love the people who raised me, always! They are my parents. I just have this other connection now with my birth family which is also important to me :)
