    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.

    Although I am not adopted myself, I get a sense of hope whenever I watch your videos. You are a truly inspiring content creator and person.
    Thank you.

    It's been quite the decade for you Alex! The journey continues and I'm sure you will find out more about Mama T's side of the family. You are so gracious and understanding of the circumstances both your bio parents have been through. All the best

    I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since you met your birth parents. Mischa and you have such a special relationship and it may never be the same with Tatiana but I’m glad you continue to tell her how much you love and support her. ❤❤❤

    How is your younger half sister doing? I remember she learning some English in school. Has she continued her English classes in school? How old is she now? I think the last video she was in she was maybe 7 years old? I can't recall.
