Here on my channel I share my journey, topics for adoptees, my vlogs, and support for others adopted, including their stories and journeys with my An Adoption Story series.
As a Russian-New Zealand adoptee, adopted at the age of two from an orphanage in Arkhangelsk, Russia, I share what I've been learning on my journey with my upbringing here in New Zealand, my current life, and how I connected with my birth family. I also share what my bloodline means for me with those connections from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

A remarkable young man. A tribute to himself and all the adults he is connected with.
I enjoyed this interview, she's so calm. Amazing story.
You are such a special gift to both birth parents and adoptive parents. Continue loving and supporting your birth mum.
Thank you for sharing! I’m not adopted, but have a heart for it! I’ve helped a few people find their birth parents. No greater joy than helping someone find themselves:)
Excellent interview!! I admire you. May God guide you whenever you need. 😊😊
Love your story. Congratulations on finding your biological family.
Thank you for this video!
You’re only 8 days younger than me! Love listening to your journey and your bravery to seek out your blood family!
I wish I have a chance to meet my Biological mum too😊
You are amazing and your journey to meet your birth parents, but also the awesome working connecting adoptees.
I am gonna buy your book to read, I Am Adopted.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Have your parents met your birth parents other than on the Russian television show?
Alex, did you grow up knowing any children adopted from Russia? You said your parents knew from other people about Russian adoptions. Did you grow up knowing any of their adopted children? (other than your brother)
Слава Богу! Хоть судтитры по- русски!!!!! Спасибо Саша!
Hi Alex, are you allowed to get a Russian passport and keep your NZ passport at the same time? Just curious because my country doesn't necessarily allow such a thing.
Amazing video, as always ;-)
Hello!! Yes I still have both and valid :) Thank you!
@@alexgilbert Wow that's really cool. I somehow wish we had this in Germany. I know a lot of people who had to give up on one of their nationalities (or do you say citizenship), which can really make people sad. I mean, after all it's just a piece of paper in some way, but to them it seemed like having to give up a part of what they are. And in the end it also meant losing real possibilities. I feel sorry for people who are forced to do so by one of their nations. And I'm very happy for you that you can keep both! 👍
Молодечик. Умница
Sasha is a common girl's name in Russia too...😊
I wonder if you and others from same orphanage also feel a sort of kinship? 🌷 I realize it would cost a lot of $$$ but wow if your Russian family could come to New Zealand! (Would make a fantastic.video for th e rest of us, too! )
👍👍👍👍👍
Alex Gilbert was lucky to have foster parents. But Dima Yakovlev was not so lucky. He was killed by his adoptive parents from the United States, like other kids from Russia - Vanya Skorobogatov, Maxim Kuzmin ...
Fortunately it ended in Russia passed a law prohibiting the export of children to the West. Russian families have grown rich over the decades and can themselves adopt orphans and provide them with a happy childhood without the "help" of the West.
Russian subtitels please)
Hello yes these should already be there :)
Alex.. what is going on with your eyebrow? New trend? Lol. 🙃🧐
