[@alexgilbert]

Thank you for watching my show. I appreciate all of you watching these great stories. We filmed these throughout 2019 to 2021! Thank you for watching. I continue to help many more with my work in the adoption community. It is great to see these stories shared again. Thank you.

[@KatherineHugs]

Amazing, thank you!!

[@cindiemoore2530]

These stories are so well researched well written and well presented they are a joy to watch. Please continue to help people, you have a special gift❤

[@alexgilbert]

@@cindiemoore2530 Thank you so much! Yes I did all the research on these stories myself. Every bit of it was rewarding. I was happy so many connect, including the story of my brother here too. I continue to help others too with my community organisation called I'm Adopted. Thank you for watching! :)

[@christianculp3069]

I need help finding my biological father

[@VictoriaLynn59]

Thank you for heartwarming stories. I truly enjoy them. I'm glad found your channel by searching for something decent to watch. Adoption is a wonderful way to show love both in the Bio parents and Adoptive parents giving them a chance to be parents and give live to a child. 🇺🇲❤🇺🇲

[@gigidee7928]

Oh gosh, Anna and Erin stole my heart. They are so genuine and kind

[@MrAnon4700]

I'm glad Erin was able to connect with her sister -- I can tell they had an instant sisterly bond!

[@emilywiebel3238]

Oh my they were like instantly connected! I think the sister needed this just as much as Erin did, if not more since she has known about her baby sister for all of these years.

[@boardmandave]

You could tell her sister was absolutely overjoyed seems like a lovely person

[@jpblight0]

Shout out to the moms. The adoptive moms. You can tell they are really really good person

[@bster007]

so true. Anna's mom was the perfect match for her.

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

I am so happy this channel is still continuing their mission If only KZbin would favor these videos rather than the brain rot

[@MrAnon4700]

It was wonderful to see Nick grinning after meeting his dad, you can tell it meant a lot to him to finally get to meet his father and know that he was loved by both of his birth parents!

[@o0TwistedByDesign0o]

This Mom is nothing short of AMAZING ❤️

[@o0TwistedByDesign0o]

When Erin & her birth sister embraced one another tho 🥹

[@o0TwistedByDesign0o]

Nick: Dude, you soooo look like your birth father man 👀

[@jeroendg7935]

What a nice sister Erin has, they look great together - a lot of warmth between them right from the start

[@carollucey111]

Anna's Momma has me bawling, what a beautiful loving woman and her dear hubby and family, her life would have been a misery with aspergers over there, her siblings, especially her sister is so lovely💖

[@JohnLegends-em8fr]

Mom suppprting son and daughter to find the family is amazing

[@emilywiebel3238]

First off i fell in love with this family immediately. I love how not only Erin got to reconnect with her family but her brother also got to as well. You can tell they are super close as siblings and their mom is also amazing. To have a super supportive parent on this journey and for them to have her there with them for support made me so happy.

[@alexgilbert]

It was such a nice story to do for the family. I am glad I was able to help both the brother and sister connect with their birth families :) Was so rewarding to help. Thank you for watching my show!

[@JSandwich13]

Sobbed my heart out watching this. When Erin met her sister you could tell how much it meant to them both. They both looked like they needed this

[@rachelcagnacci3993]

Nick's mom is so sweet she clearly has their best interest at heart! Going to see the kids meet the bio parents was a lot!

[@christinahenriksson1016]

Anna, you are not defined by your syndrome or illness; you are a human being like everyone else. All life is precious.

[@lindapearson8137]

And you are incredibly beautiful!

[@Poodlemama1234]

Oh my gosh, Erin meeting her sister had me sobbing. What a wonderful reunion ❤

[@TLCgoldendoodles]

Aww, so precious! I'm crying, and crying, but loved every minute. Thanks for helping them, and sharing with the world.

[@mariadesira4754]

The adoptees are such lovely people with amazing, supportive families

[@janefletcher2690]

What a beautiful family and well done to this fabulous lady who has give so much love to these 2 children. I hope they all have a lovely journey in whatever awaits them x

[@christinahenriksson1016]

It's wonderful to see individuals connect with their roots.

[@PamelaCouch]

I cried for them all.God has blessed them soooooo mucch.I have been lucky to grow up in an intact large family.Lots of love.

[@moretoexplore6736]

Nick's mother is beautiful. she resembles my mother who has ancestral roots in Yukat Siberia

[@markr.devereux3385]

my aunt had medium to medium / severe cerebral palsy. she learned to walk and was with my grandparents until their passing. I spent a lot of time around my aunt . I was never sure what she was thinking and feeling. it's a sad situation when I think back. FAMILY DEALS WITH IT AND IT BECOMES PART OF THE DEAL. GOOD LUCK ALEX & ANDRE this series is beyond awesome

[@RosemarieVillarreal-wh5kz]

I was a foster child. This is amazing.

[@shirleyrice7093]

Moyra is a wonderful mom, the best. The children are so well adjusted.

[@carrielaborde-ashman5157]

I haven’t smiled, laughed and cried while watching anything as much as your stories in forever! You have found a fan in me!💕

[@vancraven7688]

I love the realness and authentic way the folks meet. It is so heartwarming. If everyone understood we are all the same our world could be much better.

[@Shellzeva21]

I take my hat off to these adoptive Mums they are so strong & they are Amazing helping their kids go home to find a part of themselves ❤❤❤

[@jimo744]

It's true

[@wandering_rose]

Omggg Ana is sooo sweeet ❤

[@BryonLape]

A slight quickening in Erin's step is all her sister needed.

[@PamelaCouch]

What a beautiful heart the American mother has.Wonderful for all.

[@lindamon5101]

Bless these ppl& esp the moms❤

[@debrapriddy5985]

[@lulua.9514]

Wow wow wow this was amazing to watch. I was touched by everyone's story.

[@lydialedbetter2041]

[@angel-ff7lw]

Beautiful reunions ❤

[@cherylbglover]

Anna is so loved, her mom is the mother I wish I had. Anna is so loved, and confident

[@JanisTilyard]

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

I love these reunification stories. I’m so happy and excited for both these young people. I pray this benefits will be foundational inspiring for both. Their lovely forever mom is AMAZING. 🙏🏽✨💫💐🕊️

[@thoins]

Can’t believe I just spent my Friday night sobbing for 2 hours and 12 minutes

[@SandraWade-g1e]

These are such heartwarming stories!!! Keep them coming and thank you! What a beautiful thing to do🙏❤️

[@KatherineHugs]

Wish these people the best!

[@roymyers8575]

Thanks be to God for sweet, beautiful souls!!!!!

[@deanna1589]

It's so cool because they can travel together and have family together in both places.

[@shastac1396]

Moya is an incredible person 💓

[@sonyaskogstad3849]

Love watching this as it’s so heart warming and wonderful. ❤

[@lindapearson8137]

I wasn’t adopted, but I am an only child! I feel like Ana! There is an emptiness! My oldest childhood friend , who also is an only childhood and we both still wish I had a sibling out there!

[@Picco2008]

If you adopt a child from another country, please find someone who can teach them the birthday language from an early age! This is so essential!!!!

[@kellyporch8067]

This has been an amazing video .. Anna stay strong xx

[@emmab-ks9nu]

What a great program

[@sylviedaragon2542]

Very good heartwarming reports 😍

[@lindiehammond7921]

I live in Iowa so interesting to see you here in my state. Good friends of mine adopted a Russian boy (he’s not late 20s) around toddler age I believe, we live in Waterloo, Iowa, a few hours from Ottumwa.

[@ArcadiaJade]

Nick seems on the spectrum for sure, not shy.

[@sylvialin6453]

1st time watching. Enjoying this show. I cant stop watching Nicks mom n sis..they so pretty. Erin and sis looks alike. So emotional..cant stop crying. So glad they met. Im wondering whatever happened to their dads?? Oh what a let down by Andrei..enjoyed watching from the start and now so dishearten. Hes so fickle and have fears of being rejected. Hope he makes up his mind

[@agunghprabowo9221]

I subs direcly after seeing this video... Alex, you have a great heart. from Indonesia God bless you n team

[@dubaiedge]

Alex, your father is darling. It's always a puzzle why women drop infants off & don't bother to tell fathers. I'd be so angry in your place. But at least you located him & he turned out welcoming 🎉. What an excellent film. Subscribed, looking forward to whatever topics you put out.

[@annedalton289]

Different countries do different things 🤷‍♀️

[@dubaiedge]

@annedalton289 found the ethical relativist 🙄

[@Julienna]

I wish they hired a better translator. I don't believe she was the only option. She ruined the special moments with her broken translations. Also, the siblings could learn some basic Russian language easily. On KZbin or so. So much got lost in translation. I am happy for them to find their families and hopefully they will now really learn the language, as it is possible. There are many Russians living in the USA who would love to give them language lessons too. I learned Russian from a Russian native living in my country in Europe. Which is the best, because a native can teach you so much more. Not only the language, but the culture, traditions, history and so on. Nick and his dad deserve nice chilling moments, with his dad fishing and chit-chatting about life and stuff.

[@annedalton289]

But those kids understand Russian !!!

[@annedalton289]

She is a translator that how they translate!!! She is trying to translate for everyone!!! So broken translation!!! Russia is huge and and some words in different areas translate differently 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Erin49694]

I agree. certain things she said were either incorrectly translated or she didn’t translate the entire thing. maybe if you were casually meeting people this wouldn’t matter but we’re talking about families reuniting after so many years. i would want to hang on to every single word my family members said.

[@melissapatrone9155]

I hope they do an update

[@mariabperez8372]

Beautiful and touching stories of life ❤❤

[@jacquelynmedina5401]

Wonderful story!

[@mariabperez8372]

Thank you for what you do😊

[@colleenbrookes-gain6662]

Couldnt stop crying

[@debbietrabeau3764]

Wonderful show. I enjoy your channel always ✌🏼

[@river5613]

Adoption is beautiful.

[@chrisjohnson9041]

Both my brother and I have been adopted from birth. To amazing patients ❤ still feel there's a part of me missing and so many unanswered questions. Decided to get a DNA test in hopes for some answers, and hopefully, my birth mother is still alive. If not, maybe meet some blood family.

[@pilsplease7561]

My case is sorta like this except in the US, my dad had 2 kids before he had me, I dont know anything about them, my dad has no idea its been 30 years since hes seen them and I have for the last 9 years since I found out wanted to meet them really badly because I only have 1 half sister in my life, moms side. And I have wanted a brother and have a half brother and half sister and it bothers me so much that I may not get to have them in my life. I want my siblings.

[@TheMockatiel]

1:33:52 lovely Dad ❤️‍🩹 1:57:19 Bro called it and was spot on tho !

[@annamcnarin]

And here I thought Alex and his brother were twins. I mean, in a way they are, and that's so cool.

[@Scott2122232425]

She will always be mom.

[@rampageclover9788]

You shouldn’t break bad news on camera….it’s deeply insensitive

[@lindastamper3822]

Anna you and your sister are beautiful.

[@brendonthompson1691]

Cool brother

[@christianculp3069]

I need help finding my biological father I am adopted I would love to meet my biological father

[@marinashah9932]

Hi Alex, I have been watching your show for a while now. Although I myself want to find my father. Can you help me find my father??

[@jjohnson2891]

I want to know if Anna father is still alive.

[@lofm6213]

It's amazing how they totally ignore the father's existence. Are fathers that worthless?

[@BryonLape]

Alyona was instantly Anna's older sister.

[@monero892]

regarding Andrei'd dad and his doubts before....do they ever do dna tests? so many men are raising children unknowingly not their own.

[@nerdygeekgamer5528]

it's like the saying goes you don't have to be blood to be family

[@kristycrow9586]

Hey Alex did your brother ever meet his dad? I sure hope so.

[@MartinScheuerJr]

Awesome vid and great story…..too bad Russia is an absolute horrid place now since the Ukraine war. Regardless…the folks ain’t Putin so I wish the best for them and hope the birth parents are against the insane war against Ukraine! Putin is HORRID.

[@Erin49694]

as someone with a lot of russian family, i can say that many russians don’t agree with putin’s actions but they are unable to speak up or protest the way we do because they would end up “mysteriously” vanishing. even in a post soviet union country, russians are highly surveilled. access to news and media is highly restricted. the citizens aren’t the issue. the issue is the government that puts on a facade of democracy when in reality it’s ruled by an unhinged autocrat.

[@Shellzeva21]

Wow little kid in black shirt looks just like his Uncle Nick omg ❤❤❤

[@bettyharper2214]

👍🎄

[@psyclonetheseahawk9261]

6:22 That didn't age well

[@yobaby7780]

What was her brother chopped meat ?,she showed him know care in the world as if he didn’t exist “. He bought her such a beautiful significant momentum of a gift ,and she ignored him and the other brother on camera 😮damn”.

[@drthomason7043]

Andreas Dad looks like Mick Jagger

[@annedalton289]

Funny how Erin and Nick are very vocal around each other and other people but when they are talking in front of adoptive mother and family they seem to be very reserved like they are not allowed to speak our loud or say what they want !!! Seems weird !!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤔

[@rosesove9856]

They need to get nick tested, i think he might have a mild case of autism

[@elifineart]

Nice but it's not appropriate to tell them their mom or dad died on camera, really wrong and disrespectful, haven't you learned from Long Lost Family UK who are the best and most respectful show of this kind. too bad, and for what? higher raiting? because otherwise it's a great show.

[@cheryljohnstone48]

Totally agree

[@annedalton289]

Are you serious 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ they have given permission for this to be shown on tv !!! They tell them all information before filming !!! Do you not know ow how tv especially documentaries work 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ learn how things work before making idiotic comments 🤦‍♀️

[@mynameisasecret2033]

I love these shows but can we please get a better translator! I am from Ukraine but speak Russian. The translator is horrible

[@annedalton289]

I’d think those two were siblings !!! What’s the chance of them both having to have glasses ! Dont say it’s normal for kids to have glasses !! No it’s not I never had glasses till I was 32 my brother was 40 and that’s just for driving and my sister cos of illness was 30 !!! My mum and dad were 50 and almost 60 before they needed them !!

[@annedalton289]

Only place kids get glasses I. Sand family is if there is a disease of the eye or if you pay for seeing an ophthalmologist !! 🤦‍♀️😂 uk ifs free

[@sheryl7638]

Did Erins morhers murderer get convicted for murder?

[@lindastamper3822]

I think you all need to learn Russian Russian

[@sagematthews2811]

I got a story

[@MS-km4xp]

I really enjoy watching these episodes. But i do not understand why would people tell kids that they are adopted so early. As a psychologist i think it's not very good. In cases kids don't have any memories.

[@Lazydaisy646]

So they always know and its not a shock.

[@PT.chiquenjfc]

One of the worst things you can do is not tell them from early on. They psychologically already know and it’s still their story. Child adoption therapist speaking…

[@barbarabruno2]

Tell them the truth . I would always wonder what other things you are hiding and trust would be lost.

[@sherrylelee8274]

Agree - I know 3 adopted folk who were not told and discovered later in life and it screwed them up. Telling them when they are young is good as they grow up with the knowledge. Later in life is a crew up.

[@TheGreenyRiot]

1:17:42 That coment bbroke my heart... Honey, you are gorgeous! Keep your head up, love

[@mytexasseason6036]

Well...I got 11 mins. in and saw them wearing masks...I'm out!
