    Much love and respect to your parents, who raised you so well. That they accepted your journey to meet your bio parents and even met them is a testimony to their kindness. They are such amazing parents to you and your brother!

    Been watching snippets of this journey of finding your birth parents over the years, and each time my heart goes out to Mama T. Can't believe it's been 10 years now, and despite the distance and the challenges in communicating with her, your relationship is growing stronger. Misha is just a joy, and you must be so grateful to be able to reconnect with him and your half-siblings! Much appreciation for Mum and Dad Gilbert, they raised a wonderful person in you, Alex!

    Your birth parents significant others also seem like really good people. It could not have been easy finding out your spouse’s long lost child was back.

    Hi Alex! I remember I had followed your discovery journey some years ago but somehow I didn't think of you in years... until today. I was on the bus on my way home after work and I thought about your birth mother and the time you met your birth father and I hoped you all are okay and enjoying life. Greetings from Mexico City!

    I'm so happy for you. And your journey and for helping others. Bless you when you were so nervous what a challenge in a different language and super young and enthusiastic. Super tough. You look so like your biological Dad. Glad you made the connections and love your enthusiasm. There are good people in the world and your New Zealand parents are amazing also, thankfully there are people like your families that supported you and others and you had the courage to go there many don't. But it seems to have brought a lot joy into all your lives and others spread the love 😍

    Aw Alex this is so lovely to look back on, I remember watching a lot of these videos with great nerves and excitement, almost going through it with you - you are such a lovely young man and i am sure your Russian family are all so proud of you! You did a great, courageous thing connecting with them and allowing all of us to share it- thank you!

    I remember this! OMG 11 years already?! I did notice your mom was a bit cold, but I think she was just filled with guilt, probably embarrassment, but she shouldn't. You had an amazing life, and your NZ parents are so amazing for supporting this. I just love love that you and your dad are close. He really since day 1 when you met him, is in love with you

    It's always wonderful to see you with your Mom and Dad. You light up when you see them. God bless your New Zealand Mom and Dad for raising you as they did. I'd say they did pretty darn great. God bless you all. 💗💗😊😊👍👍

    Alex i came across ur videos today, and i have been watching it since,one thing i wanna say is i don't know anything about ur life or ur birth mother life's situation,and am not judging u either,but i think u should bring her with u to where ever u live,she is alone now and u r her only child and right now she needs u more than ever before,forget about past and i would love to see her hopefully one day living with u,give her a little happiness in her last phase of her life.(Sorry if my words offended u)

    Aww Alex what a lovely look back on your journey! Your parents did such a great job raising you! You're such a warm and bright young man. Your birth father Misha also seems really warm and bubbly. I can imagine you as an amazing parent one day if you decide to have kids in the future!

    What a brave journey you've been on and it's been an honor for us to follow it! Although I know it still feels like your Russian is quite limited, you have come leaps and bounds in ten years. Молодец!

    Alex, I have been following your journey for years now. Thankyou for sharing your story with the world. It's so lovely to see the courage you have shown and the connections you have made. Your kindness and understanding of Tatiana's circumstances is always so heartwarming. Your sheer joy with your relationship with Misha and his side of your family always brings a big smile. Be well, take care.

    Such a touching and heartwarming update and recap. I've followed this journey since you first went to Russia. The relationships you've created are wonderful, and you've helped so many other adoptees. Yes, here's to the next 10 years and what it will bring for you and your families.

    I am from Brazil and have been following Alex’s story for a long time. Your story helped me improve my English skills and motivated me to start learning Russian. I found your channel by accident, and it has been a pleasure to learn about your story and meet your whole family virtually. Thank you for sharing your story, Alex.
