I have loved watching Kat's story. I found it so emotional and wish her a wonderful future.

proud of you Kat! thank you for sharing! I hope you find all the answers you seek.🌈

As a mother that has given up two children it breaks my heart hearing how these beautiful people think that they weren’t wanted or loved and it truly is the opposite, we love our babies so much and want the very best for them far more than what we can give them and that only can happen out of selflessness and love so great our emotions don’t matter

[@texasgina]

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 ❤

So happy for Kat, for many reasons. What a special person...feels like a real privilege to be able to see inside her journey. Having that friend you laugh with like that with is worth GOLD. They made me crack up when they did. lol.

Not an adoption story but I can relate to Ian's lack of connection. I too had it all my life until my 50s when after 40 years my Aboriginal heritage has finally been confirmed and my last few years have been filled with finding family, culture she connection.

[@susannaude8514]

Beautiful, wise young woman, with her feet planted firmly on this earth and will make all her dreams come true.

[@authorKatClark]

I try 😅

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

The mom looks quite a lot like Ekaterina did when she was little.

I wish her happiness.

She resembles my cousin a lot

[@authorKatClark]

Cute right? 😅

[@ulfanfinneriksen4643]

That's a crazy tackle. Unbelieveable, she should be put in jail. Played myself 20 years. Seen a couple of broken legs, but that injury was horrific.

[@leegreen9928]

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.

[@authorKatClark]

Take care🫶

[@nikavishneva7469]

So who deceived you-- those who adopted you or those who gave you up for adoption?? Why is it so hard for you?? What exactly did you expect to be "Different"?? If possible... Tell me, please!

[@leegreen9928]

@@nikavishneva7469 there is a book called 'The Primal Wound' it will help you understand the sacred bond of family that gets ripped apart for all Orphans. You can then read the living word of your creator 'The Holy Bible' which will explain to you the condition of humanity and the need for a Saviour. Who has adopted me into the arms of my eternal Father forever. If it wasn't for our loving God I would be what everyone wanted... DEAD.

[@LdnLady]

Thank you fir sharing. I’m sorry people whom you trusted lied to you. I hope you have found peace and will be able to share your story. ❤

Wow! Nobody would have guessed Ekaterina was the child of somebody with mental disabilities! Whatever the issue was for Valentina, it was not inherited.

[@summerlake356]

Did someone take advantage of Valentina, causing her to get pregnant... All this is raising a lot of questions.

[@patriciagordon2]

Did they do DNA verification?

[@carolechenowith900]

Definitely do a DNA test.

[@robingillespie4467]

Why is it every gay has to tell thier personal bussness, no one cares, this is an adoption experience not about your sexual interests. Nothing personal but just give us the info about the adoption.

[@kasketchayne]

i won't waste my time trying to explain it to you because you would refuse to accept it. it is suffice to say that it has everything to do with being part of her identity, and that it exactly what her whole search is about.

[@authorKatClark]

Firstly, my guy needs to learn how to spell properly. Secondly, being gay is part of who I am, which is part of my story. This doco is about my life. Being gay is a big part of that. Thanks for watching ✌🏻🌮

[@BernardProfitendieu]

all she said was she recently married - why are you so offended by that? would you be equally offended if a straight adoptee mentioned that they had recently married?? your problems go much deeper than your inability to spell
