    About Myself:
    Welcome! 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.

    So happy for Kat, for many reasons. What a special person...feels like a real privilege to be able to see inside her journey.
    Having that friend you laugh with like that with is worth GOLD. They made me crack up when they did. lol.

    This triggered me... nothing is what it seems Ekaterina, know that people lie. My adoption story was a journey through to the truth. Which means many lied that I trusted. I hope your journey is not like mine.

    Thanks for sharing this Alex! I hope she can go see her bio mom soon. I feel sad for her bio mom being in that place. I do hope she’s taken care of well. It would be nice if she could bring her to NZ or here to the USA. I love your video stories. I love seeing bio families reconnecting ❤
