The Relationship with my Half Brother Artyom in Russia

[@vegasgirl3538]

With regards to your bio mom, it can be really scary for people to leave their comfort zone, especially as they get older. It sounds like she hasn't had an easy time, and the thought of an overseas trip is probably overwhelming for her. Try not to take it personally, it's not a rejection. Best wishes.

[@judypratt2868]

True. In a different era, it would be assumed your mother wouldn't travel that far from home.

[@ricardomarcel6251]

It makes me so emotional as I had a great relationship with my dad, who passed away when I was 11. I wish you many many visits to your family in Russia.

[@michellem9275]

I could keep listening to your stories over and over..lol!🥰👍🌻

[@juliesprik9479]

I agree 💯 percent, I have watched several videos more than once.So happy for your big family,love from the USA.

[@sumanthkadulla2392]

Brother add Russian subtitles so that your family in Russia can see it too

[@margarethoward1752]

Your brother could be your twin how awesome is that. You look so much alike, taking your looks from your father.

[@pngillavmi]

Alex I’m seeing how you are becoming more professional and wise in content I love seeing your vlogs #worldchangerAG

[@robinellison6708]

Privyet! So happy to see your nephew! He's so cute! You're half brother looks almost like you. So happy for you. Speciba.

[@janeshea1798]

Hi. I am a New Zealander living in England. Lived in Orewa. Just discovered your channel. So interesting to hear your fantastic story of your life and how you found your birth mother and father and new siblings. Amazing. Your adoptive parents have done a wonderful job in bringing you up and I am sure you have had a great life in Whangarei, NZ. Stay safe and strong ready for your next travels back to Russia! Will be great if your birth father and family can travel to NZ, they will love it!!!! X

[@dianapollex3266]

the lines around your birth father's eyes tells me he smiles and laughs alot. Happy man.

[@michaelsanchez8803]

Great to hear you are getting to know your half brother,I can't wait till you do the story on your Adopted brother.

[@WuhanMan2013]

I love to hear these stories. As the great American philosopher Vin Diesel once said “Nothing is more important than family”.

[@annecaulder9495]

Your story makes me smile so much, and brings tears to my eyes. You are so blessed with this extra family; not all adoptees have such results, as I’m sure you know. So how long did your birth father know about you brother? Was he raised by his birth mother? Thanks for sharing your story!

[@Pixlanta]

Is Artyom older than you Alex? I'm glad you got to meet your half brother👍🏼

[@dimitrigugavasvani]

Man, I watch your videos and feel so happy! you're really a good human being and wish you and your BIG family health, happiness and prosperity ! Good luck in your life !

[@rickyparisi8742]

It's fantastic hearing you speak Russian now good work 😊

[@rv4854]

Alex, in time when language is one not only understand each other which is great but you'll grow to understand one's humor which is unique. As always thanks for sharing have a great week.

[@sharonwendypereira3410]

Video is too short!😭 I want more. 🥰

[@esmeesme7666]

This is amazing!!! Wow!!You're and uncle!! More the reason to learn even more Russian! It's neat that you find the humour unique to both cultures. Have a super day!

[@gracemarieskitchen4493]

[@kingedward6146]

I would always get inspired listening and watching you. Keep going with your blessings. Having two sets of parents are a huge blessing for me because of huge love to you have. Hope to watch your video with your show in Russia where your parents including your half-brother meet.

My twin sister Ana, give up her daughter ( born on 2010 ). And never tell where she is right now. Missing my niece very much

[@Raylee-H]

Alex yet again a lovely part of your amazing life story . So darn honoured that you bring us along with you . Was your nephew named at all with you in mind ? Just wondered .. take care I’m so looking forward to seeing more of your life . Such a difference from both countries. Safe travels

[@dionfeist5226]

So awesome to hear!!

[@markgreene101]

Alex have you considered sending your mother videos about New Zealand? There may be some in Russian. If she saw enough of them that may give her more of a desire to visit your New Zealand.

[@cbecky7379]

I just found your channel, its great you have a great relationship with your parents & I enjoyed the video when you visited the orphanage & gave the kids presents.

[@crystalwright1504]

What a lovely tribute to your brother.

[@janicelaurin7263]

Thanks for the update on your half brother in Russia. Their baby is so cute. Just wondering if your half sister in Russia is still learning English in school or has an English tutor? Children seem to have an easier time picking up another language. And as you know it takes practice. I am not sure when the international travel restrictions will be lifted. The world has changed so much in just a matter of months. Thanks to the internet you are able to stay connected with everyone. Please take care.

[@carolwood9270]

You are such a pet lamb (Ozzie expression). So nice to watch you and hearing your adventures.....your Russian sounds natural. You hav3vwondrtful adoptive parents and bio,parents, you are sure lucky.....

[@ithaka3835]

[@jeanetteeasson4889]

Oh Alexi, your birth mother is a very private person but by giving you up for adoption she has blessed you with wonderful parents in New Zealand and also given you your brother Andre PLUS given you an international family that stretches love far beyond addresses! How cool! Love following your story! On this planet, there is no one farther than 32 cousins according to genetic tracking, SOOOO my love to you cousin!

If you ever get stuck in the Metro, make sure you call your bro Artyom. He'll find a way to help you (if not he, then who?) no matter what.

[@leilanipyles4546]

Your Rusdian is getting better!!:)

[@littleripper312]

Its good his parents are cool with all that. I had a friend who left his parents when he found his birth mother at 18. Despite them bringing him up and being his real parents he completely deserted them. It was sad.

[@lenaannis8787]

Hello from Greece. I do think your parents are great and you and your brother had a good life but in my opinion since they adopted you both from Russia,they should have taking care that you learned Russian while growing up. To learn a second language is good for the mind and it would have made yr communication much easier now with your birth family. I think adoption is great,but I strongly suggest that the child one adopts should have some knowledge of his heritage

[@mongaligurung7229]

Amazing

[@aprilshower7799]

The 3 of them look alike

Thank for yr answer..artyom older than you ? His mother is sonia's mom..? So you are not yr birth father oldest child? ...sorry my curious qustions...🙆😀

[@mistereearly1141]

Alex’s birth father was quite the Russian stud. Hot damn!

[@alimay967]

I'm Russian. And I can tell you that it's common for men in Russia to what we call it "make children" (translation - have random sex without protection because men in Russia say that they "don't like using condoms as it doesn't feel the same") but not take care of their children. A man often leaves a woman and a child stays with a mother or is left at an orphanage. Men in Russia in contrast to those in Western countries usually don't worry about leaving their children behind if they leave their mother (there are exceptions but Im not aware of any).
