I love how respectful and tactful you are when talking about your birth mother and her town. You choose your words carefully and tell a story beautifully. You've obviously been raised very well by your parents. What a credit you are to them
Wow. What a difference from when you first met her. Your loving, patient and non judgmental approach has clearly made her so proud and openly loving to you. I think her pain and guilt have been eased tremendously.
oh how very true. She obviously have a very hard life and I think she is doing the best she can. She clearly doesn't know any better. Kudos to you for staying in touch with her. Im sure she appreciate it but doesn't know how to show it.
you will always love her and she you, she carried you for 9 months and gave you life, she also was doing the right thing giving you a better life she hoped. Could you imagine if you had been raised in the areas she has lived. I'm so glad you've became a sparkle in her life. I cry get emotional every time I watch your videos.
hello from Slovakia, so happy to see your mum happy with you, the way she looks at you, her eyes....she loves you and you are very important for her...i can not imagine what she went through in her life :-(
Alex, you are a light in the darkness to your birth mother. It speaks volumes about your character and heart that you pursue this relationship with her. Please keep that up, it will help her more than you know. Thanks for sharing your life with the world.
Alex your birth mom had a really hard life! she made a great decision giving you for adoption. You got beautiful loving parents! and because of her decision also you have been educated! she knew that adoption was the best option in her situation been young, scare, and financially broke and without any family to support her! Just be proud of her! love and care! she is a hardworking lady with a very hard life nobody should judge her!
I’m glad you said that you “don’t judge her.” She was young when she had you. Your father did not know you had been conceived. Be grateful that she did not choose to have an abortion. Also, be grateful to your adoptive parents who gave you a good life. You have grown to be a wonderful and intelligent young man. A word of advise, your mom is poor, send her a little bit of money every month, you will get it back ten fold, you’ll see. I will keep watching your videos. Best wishes!
Marie Jane Cornielle, that is bad advice. In Russia, it is well understood that such people will become leeches. Alex could easily find himself the recipient of ever larger demands for money from someone who doesn't want to know him. The only way for a proper relationship with her is not to send her money.
Addiction treatment and rehabilitation protocols could be helpful......Alcohol is a nemesis in many societies, the former USSR is especially afflicted. It's the most abused drug -- yet so accepted.
When you put yourself in other's shoes, you gain compassion. Compassion then becomes showing grace towards other. Supporting people where they are is the key. Thank you for this update on your biological mom. I have had her on my mind every time I see a post from you.
Alex, I dont know if you realize this....but your Mother Tatiana most likely saved your life by getting you out of Russia and letting you be adopted. Human Traffiking is a huge issue, especially in Russia. Id be willing to bet your poor Mom saw or experienced the brutality of that reality in the 80's hence why she gave you your best chance. Ask your Father, as exmilitary he probably knows about that situation at the time. Russian gov has been fighting it for a long time, but they can only protect so many. So glad your Dad went with you. Good on you for not judging, only loving her. You both deserve peace and happiness. Be blessed.
@@anafolger4397 Human Traffiking has been happening all over the world for decades. Putin has been doing a lot to end it there in the last decade, hes even spoke about it. If you do some research it will tell you more.
This is beautiful! You can see how thrilled she is to see you. To think that she never expected to see you again after you were born, this must make her incredibly happy. So cool that your birth father helps you so much. My heart goes out to her. The countryside was so pretty!
pls... send my big big apprecition to both people who adopted you...... they have a big heart..... they raise you in a good manner and conduct.... LOVE THEM FOREVER...... For they are the great people who love you and raise as thier true son..... YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD..... THANK YOU SO MUCH......
No judgement at all. She was in an orphanage herself. At a different time during communism. Must've been dreadful. Things leave scars. I'm sure she she loves you with all the capacity she can.
Why dreadful? I mean it always sucks to be raised by institution, but I feel like you are imagining it being some version of gulag. I suggest you to learn about the topic first. Or watch some Soviet fairy tales. You would be 100% surprised by the love invested in them. For example 1. This one made at the end of the war, in which Germans exterminated 14 million Soviet civilians out of racism: m.ruclips.net/video/09AH5boq14U/видео.html Or the loveliest and corky Russian version of Winnie the Pooh (Vinni Pukh): m.ruclips.net/video/sqdiEUp6s4E/видео.html
@@ingvarz7468 I am an alcoholic who has been clean almost 10 years. Alcoholics are real people with real feelings but they need help and they can only help themselves. It's not right to judge them by saying they don't have feelings. Its their feelings and pain that they are trying to work through. Have some grace and love towards them.
it seems like you get your positive personality and always smiling from your birth dad, no doubt your adoptive parents did such a great job raising you - well done young man.
You're so precious to your birth mum Sasha I could feel her love for you her happiness & her missing you when you went to visit her again that's why she wouldn't let go off you and your proud & protective birth father accompanied you just so beautiful and your train journey to the countryside so amazing thanks for the video ❤️
Your decision to not judge your birth Mother is a testament to your parents and your character. Your birth Father's decision to travel with you is a testament to him and his responsibility to you. You're blessed........... In order to make your next train journey slightly more comfortable, I'm in to purchase the 4th bunk as a donation to assist in the sleep pattern ))))))
Love your families so much. Your such an in inspiration. I was raised by my biological father and his family. My birth mother couldn't raise me and I was left with my great uncle. I was raised by the whole community of family. But I always felt a loss, when my birth mother came back into my life it helped alot. I have brothers and sisters I was never even around. I definitely find your videos bring back so many memories. Thank you for sharing your journey, I also love Russia
It would be so nice for your Russian mother to visit you in New Zealand and your Russian father also maybe not at the same time. They could see how your life is.
Im a pilipino guy.... im touch by your life story.... im so amaze how a young guy like you have a courage to look for his birthmother and birthfather..... philippines has almost same story like you.... so i really can relate your incredible story....So PROUD OF YOU....... BIG SALUTE....
She loves you Alex. It's hard to give up a child but she did it to give you a better life. She wanted better for you than what she has. What an amazing birth dad you have to go with you. Your birth mother need to make peace with herself and with everybody. You're all she's got....you're an amazing kid to go back and meet her or to know her.
Привет, Алекс. Смотря твои видео, хочется выразить благодарность твоим приемным родителям. Они большие молодцы. Обними свою приемную маму, когда увидишь. Цени её. Они сделали тебя таким, какой ты есть сейчас. Это так прекрасно.
Always amazing to continue to hear more of your story. Thank you for sharing. It’s so touching to see how she opens up more and more. She knows that you love her and I know that means so much to her.
Your birth mother is PRECIOUS! It's so important to stay in touch with your birth family. I will be praying for you and your entire family especially your dear Mom. She needs a healthy and reliable support system. 🙏🏻 What a moving story, much love and God bless you all. ❣️🙏🏻❣️
How wonderful it is to have double the parents and able to love them all, I always wish parents would grant young children to love their step parents it’s takes so much pressure off the young mind, because children try to be loyal, not understanding that you can love your step parents without hurting your parents, it would make life so much more joyful for the child, parents and step parent
I love that your birth father went with you on this trip. I think he knew you might need the extra support and used the excuse that he wanted to also see her to go along. I also love that you understand your birthmothers situation. She clearly loves you dearly but she has had a hard life and is still living a hard life. She did what she knew was right for you when you were born. Of course I hate that you missed all the time with your birth father as well but you have had a beautiful life and now even more family!
Sasha, greetings from Toronto, Canada. I got to learn about you during the self-confinement lock down and had come to enjoy your videos and sympathize with your need to find your birth parents. I am thrilled to see that Mikael and family had embraced and genuinely welcome you as their lost family member. I can tell he loves you very much. I admire your maturity and decency from the fact that you seem to understand Tatiana’s feeling and unique circumstance without judging her and still care and love her deeply as best you can- for the sheer fact that she is your birth mother. You are kind, generous, loving and a decent young man. I congratulate your New Zealand parents for raising you that way. Do not neglect them even after you’d found Mikael and Tatiana. Just let your birth mother know that you love her deeply and unconditionally and will always be there for her when she needs you. You’ve probably done so already. Continue to be a long suffering buddy to Mikael for I know he needs you in that role (I can tell from watching your videos even if he never said that to you). Last, whomever is lucky and fortunate enough to love you and to have you as a life partner will be a blessed person.
your birth mum is so right. You are definately such a beautiful boy and you do look like both your birth parents too. What a wonderful story this is, so uplifting in these hard times. Tatiana seems happier now which is really lovely to see.
Sasha, you are such a pure man and a gentleman. I am so happy that you found your family and you are so inspirational. In many of your videos, I get teary eyes and I a hardcore former US Marine. God bless your adopted parents. They are true heroes. Your birth parents are wonderful and I or others cannot judge situations. God works in mysterious ways! Stay safe! Poka poka.......
What a lovely video dedicated to your mum, Tatiana. I'm sure her heart is full of pride when she sees your videos. This one will hug her from the inside out. Your life has surpassed her dreams. You also have an awesome protective Dad, Mihail. Good guy. Full of forgiveness and love. You are very blessed. Your Russian is sounding convincing!
I'm cutting onions! Your mama tatiana have been through a lot pain.I hope she will join you in New Zealand so you will have more time to bond with her.She needs you Alex.You are her only family.
Саша, Вы просто божий человек. Как много Вы делаете блага для всех людей. Особенно, для семьи Татьяны. Такие уж они простые необразованные люди, но хорошие. Как Вы им нужны!!!!!! Как Вы им много ( неожиданно дали)!!!! Это награда Татьяне за то, что она тупо не зделала аборт, как делают многие в этой ситуации. А еще, значит она была влеблена в Михаила и Вы ей были дороги! Не только из- за своих австралийских родителей, но вследствии отношения Татьяны к еще неродившемуся.....Это просто какой- тои детектив и лирическая и жизнеутверждающяя история. Жаль, перевода на русский нет..
Sasha I really enjoyed seeing the footage of you, Tatiana and M. I feel for her very much. Just put yourself in her shoes. You can never forget the child you give up for adoption, being a mother myself. She had a difficult life no doubt but she can still smile. She made the ultimate sacrifice, something which I could never do, death would be easier. She had to bury the pain for all those years, not knowing whether she would ever see you! She numbed it I guess but she loves you dearly and tries to cope with all the hardships and guilt. I empathise with her more so than most as I have a deep understanding as a mother of two. I cannot judge her as I was not in her shoes. She needs unconditional love most of all. People should respect her for being her own person and dancing to her own tune. You are a good solid son and she must be very proud of you. Much love to you all from South-Africa 🥰
Hallo from Germany, my son ist two years younger than you, Alex und when i hear your story, i am happy that i was not in the situation to give him away, but your open heart will heal all the past even from Tatjana, god bless both of you.
What a beautiful Man U r . Thank u for sharing abt yr birth mum . 💞 I love how gentle u r with her, & ur birth dad well I just love him he so very special 💞
Your mum's reaction was much better this time. You are a wonderful son to her, there is sparkle in her eyes because of you. She may be both happy and sad to leave you, so you have a good life. I wish you could take her for a holiday even in Russia outside her town and you spend more time with her. Love your care for her without any judging.
Alex. You're quite amazing how you've dealt with all the emotions that have been put on you. That you couldn't of prepared for. It must of been perplexing, draining and overwhelming since you started this journey. Plus of course you have your parents who raised you too 😊. You have so much love around you. And you radiate so much love to every person, equally, in your life. Thank you so much for sharing such a highly personal journey. I feel privileged, as a spectator & total stranger to of seen so much from your perspective... & that of your families... Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼💞
Thats great that your mother shows more feelings towards you, you can now speak russian so i guess that makes a difference! Now she got back her inspiration in life. God bless
I love how inclusive you are and the great things you’re achieving with family. Just stay consistent with your communication with her, I can tell it lights her soul up!
Your so kind I couldn’t resist! You just got one new subscriber! Good karma brings good karma! Again sending you so much love from America. I am dying to go to New Zealand some of my favorite shows have been taped there! Beautiful country very long ✈️!
Keep going alex this is inspirational be patient I've been there dont forget your birth fathers wifes feelings she may feel left out .god bless you xxxx
It’s really lovely to see your birth mother so happy when you visit her. some people have really hard life, and those who don’t have a hard life have no idea what it’s really like. Your mum did what she thought was best for you, and tbh realistically i think if she didn’t give you up for adoption, you’d have grown up in a very hard environment experiencing a very difficult life, especially in Russian in the 90’s. I left Russia in 95, and came to Uk in 97, I heard many of my class mates got involved in difficulties life. From what I understand many of not most towns/villages in Russia still have a very difficult life. Completely different from Moscow and St Petersburg. It was great to see your train journey too. I used to love going on the train in Russia when I was a child. Every time I went on the train, it was like an adventure, just being on the train. I’d certainly love to go again one day.
Your a good bloke and your adoptive parents must be awesome as. Your bio mum obviously has a back story and always have love and patience for her. Your bio dad seems like an amazing person you are blessed in a way. Best of luck with it all
You beautiful soul Newer give up on your birth mother If she can open and tell her story many would understand her behavior. God bless two people who raised you. Never give up
All of a sudden I'm getting these adoption and reunification videos as suggestions. But what can I say, it's been emotional watching all of them. Sacha/Alex, continue what you're doing because the world needs you. You're an amazing person! Happy Christmas and a fruitful new year to come!
I think your mama tatiana has had a fair deal of heartaches in her life so she is being very guarded and holding back, maybe fear of being rejected is there. But it is also evident she is proud of you. Give her time to warm up to the fact that you sincerely want to have her in your life regardless of what misses she may have had to take in her youth.
You are such a good person. You have a really lovely soul. I think many people should learn from you how to behave, how not to judge someone without knowing their circumstances and life, and how to be open, tolerant, and kind. I think your adoptive parents did a really good job bringing you up.
I am a filipino and i am so proud of your determination in finding your roots! Now that your mom is alone if you can make her happy for the rest of her life do it without. Bring her with you if it is possible. Sure she is lonely alone. If you can trace her siblings look for them make it happen for them to get acquainted.
Such a beautiful story , she loves you I know but she has this guilt.She is more comfortable this time .Every time I watch your videos I get emotional , big hugs ,watching from New York City :)
Alex, as you continue on this journey you'll become a stronger person that will help others around you. Very happy for you you deserve a lot of hugs many hugs. Hope the next visit with your birth mom will be just more rewarding. Have a great weekend. Following you all the way from the Black hills of South Dakota.
You are amazing!! Know one needs to ever say anything bad about your mom.. Just keep your head up..before you know it your mom will be there day or night..There is no time limit on her opening up to you..in due time she will let her wall down..
This is an awesome vid bro. Your vids always hit me emotionally. I believe your father is right. Every child needs to connect with their birth mother. It's just amazing to see you connect with your birth parents and blood family. All the best on your journey.
No idea how i got here sacha but man i am invested in your journey now and have spent the last two days binge watching all the video's . subscribed and watching from the uk.
I love how honest and open you are! That is so rare! You should come to America! My daughter goes to a specific private school for youngsters that are really advanced. There is only 8 kids from grade 1-6 and I think it’s hilarious that 7/8 kids are all part or all Russian! I love them singing happy birthday in Russian! We had exchange students from China this year to learn English and to teach them Chinese. I think it might be easier for your sister to do a study abroad program like that where someone could interrupt for her if she couldn’t ask it in any language other then Russian. My husband’s sister is adopted and I know she struggled a lot growing up. I even heard people ask her why she didn’t look like my mother in law which I found to be hurtful. Her mom cried when she asked to find her birth parents so she didn’t. I hope one day that changes before it’s to late. So much love to you. You are such a kind and warm person and it’s a pleasure getting to know you! Sending you and your beautiful family so much love!
Great video Alex, thanks for sharing. I'm sure it was very overwhelming for your mother to meet and see you as well. It was evident from the photos that she was overjoyed to see you and that you turned out to be a great young man. I'm sure that even though it was difficult for your birth mother to give you up for adoption, it gives her joy to see that you are doing well and accomplishing so much with your life.
I love how respectful and tactful you are when talking about your birth mother and her town. You choose your words carefully and tell a story beautifully. You've obviously been raised very well by your parents. What a credit you are to them
Your mum is so wounded by life I feel for her
I feel so sorry for his mother. Being raised in an orphanage with no love, hugs, kisses. This is the only life she knows
Spot on. She is the victim. The only one who never got a second chance. But maybe her son is her saviour
I feel for you birth mum, I get the impression you mean absolutely everything to her. ❤️
Wow. What a difference from when you first met her. Your loving, patient and non judgmental approach has clearly made her so proud and openly loving to you. I think her pain and guilt have been eased tremendously.
oh how very true. She obviously have a very hard life and I think she is doing the best she can. She clearly doesn't know any better. Kudos to you for staying in touch with her. Im sure she appreciate it but doesn't know how to show it.
Your birth mum looked so happy to see you, and it was nice your dad went with you and there was no hard feelings between the two of them 😁
Yes, i thought the same, it's very special. I think it shows how they both love their son.
you will always love her and she you, she carried you for 9 months and gave you life, she also was doing the right thing giving you a better life she hoped. Could you imagine if you had been raised in the areas she has lived. I'm so glad you've became a sparkle in her life. I cry get emotional every time I watch your videos.
Me too. He's got such a gift for storytelling
hello from Slovakia, so happy to see your mum happy with you, the way she looks at you, her eyes....she loves you and you are very important for her...i can not imagine what she went through in her life :-(
Being that you are her only child the older she gets the more she looks back at her life.
So true.
Not only that, she was adopted and DOES NOT HAVE ANY relatives. He's the only biological person she knows.

You got a big heart, my friend. Всего хорошего.
your birth mum is so right. You are definately such a beautiful boy and you do look like both your birth parents too. What a wonderful story this is, so uplifting in these hard times. Tatiana seems happier now which is really lovely to see.
Sasha, you are such a pure man and a gentleman. I am so happy that you found your family and you are so inspirational. In many of your videos, I get teary eyes and I a hardcore former US Marine. God bless your adopted parents. They are true heroes. Your birth parents are wonderful and I or others cannot judge situations. God works in mysterious ways! Stay safe! Poka poka.......
Thank you Semper. Stay safe brother!
your mother is full of trauma. but she is loving. that's great
Glad she has her bond with you that must make her feelbetter
What a lovely video dedicated to your mum, Tatiana. I'm sure her heart is full of pride when she sees your videos. This one will hug her from the inside out. Your life has surpassed her dreams. You also have an awesome protective Dad, Mihail. Good guy. Full of forgiveness and love. You are very blessed. Your Russian is sounding convincing!
I'm cutting onions! Your mama tatiana have been through a lot pain.I hope she will join you in New Zealand so you will have more time to bond with her.She needs you Alex.You are her only family.
Give her time, she is probably dealing with shame and all kinds of emotions.
She loves you and she will come around.
Саша, Вы просто божий человек. Как много Вы делаете блага для всех людей. Особенно, для семьи Татьяны. Такие уж они простые необразованные люди, но хорошие. Как Вы им нужны!!!!!! Как Вы им много ( неожиданно дали)!!!! Это награда Татьяне за то, что она тупо не зделала аборт, как делают многие в этой ситуации. А еще, значит она была влеблена в Михаила и Вы ей были дороги! Не только из- за своих австралийских родителей, но вследствии отношения Татьяны к еще неродившемуся.....Это просто какой- тои детектив и лирическая и жизнеутверждающяя история. Жаль, перевода на русский нет..
Am from kenya and i love your story......hope you enjoy time with family....am subscribing😊
You are such a light in her life, you give her much hope. Bless her.
You bring light to her world. I'm sorry she has a difficult life.
Sasha I really enjoyed seeing the footage of you, Tatiana and M. I feel for her very much. Just put yourself in her shoes. You can never forget the child you give up for adoption, being a mother myself. She had a difficult life no doubt but she can still smile. She made the ultimate sacrifice, something which I could never do, death would be easier. She had to bury the pain for all those years, not knowing whether she would ever see you! She numbed it I guess but she loves you dearly and tries to cope with all the hardships and guilt. I empathise with her more so than most as I have a deep understanding as a mother of two. I cannot judge her as I was not in her shoes. She needs unconditional love most of all. People should respect her for being her own person and dancing to her own tune. You are a good solid son and she must be very proud of you. Much love to you all from South-Africa 🥰
Hallo from Germany, my son ist two years younger than you, Alex und when i hear your story, i am happy that i was not in the situation to give him away, but your open heart will heal all the past even from Tatjana, god bless both of you.
What a beautiful Man U r . Thank u for sharing abt yr birth mum . 💞 I love how gentle u r with her, & ur birth dad well I just love him he so very special 💞
Your mother is beautiful and so with you dad.
Your mum's reaction was much better this time. You are a wonderful son to her, there is sparkle in her eyes because of you. She may be both happy and sad to leave you, so you have a good life. I wish you could take her for a holiday even in Russia outside her town and you spend more time with her. Love your care for her without any judging.
you are a great boy. Much love from Portugal
Alex. You're quite amazing how you've dealt with all the emotions that have been put on you.
That you couldn't of prepared for.
It must of been perplexing, draining and overwhelming since you started this journey.
Plus of course you have your parents who raised you too 😊.
You have so much love around you.
And you radiate so much love to every person, equally, in your life.
Thank you so much for sharing such a highly personal journey.
I feel privileged, as a spectator & total stranger to of seen so much from your perspective... & that of your families...
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼💞
Thats great that your mother shows more feelings towards you, you can now speak russian so i guess that makes a difference! Now she got back her inspiration in life. God bless
I love how inclusive you are and the great things you’re achieving with family. Just stay consistent with your communication with her, I can tell it lights her soul up!
Wow Alex You speak Russian with accent you change a lot you always smiling good vibes
Your so kind I couldn’t resist! You just got one new subscriber! Good karma brings good karma! Again sending you so much love from America. I am dying to go to New Zealand some of my favorite shows have been taped there! Beautiful country very long ✈️!
Keep going alex this is inspirational be patient I've been there dont forget your birth fathers wifes feelings she may feel left out .god bless you xxxx
It’s really lovely to see your birth mother so happy when you visit her. some people have really hard life, and those who don’t have a hard life have no idea what it’s really like. Your mum did what she thought was best for you, and tbh realistically i think if she didn’t give you up for adoption, you’d have grown up in a very hard environment experiencing a very difficult life, especially in Russian in the 90’s. I left Russia in 95, and came to Uk in 97, I heard many of my class mates got involved in difficulties life. From what I understand many of not most towns/villages in Russia still have a very difficult life. Completely different from Moscow and St Petersburg. It was great to see your train journey too. I used to love going on the train in Russia when I was a child. Every time I went on the train, it was like an adventure, just being on the train. I’d certainly love to go again one day.
Your a good bloke and your adoptive parents must be awesome as. Your bio mum obviously has a back story and always have love and patience for her. Your bio dad seems like an amazing person you are blessed in a way. Best of luck with it all
Alex you are great guy! God Bless you and your loved ones!
You beautiful soul
Newer give up on your birth mother
If she can open and tell her story many would understand her behavior. God bless two people who raised you.
Never give up
All of a sudden I'm getting these adoption and reunification videos as suggestions. But what can I say, it's been emotional watching all of them.
Sacha/Alex, continue what you're doing because the world needs you. You're an amazing person! Happy Christmas and a fruitful new year to come!
I love your videos !
So fun to see how you are connecting with your birth mother.
I wish you could take your birth mother on a trip to New Zealand sometime!
Thank you for sharing! Спасибо, что поделились!
Спасибо большое!! )))
I think your mama tatiana has had a fair deal of heartaches in her life so she is being very guarded and holding back, maybe fear of being rejected is there. But it is also evident she is proud of you. Give her time to warm up to the fact that you sincerely want to have her in your life regardless of what misses she may have had to take in her youth.
You've got a beautiful heart Alex. So admirable ❤
Спасибо Саша 💛
You are such a good person. You have a really lovely soul. I think many people should learn from you how to behave, how not to judge someone without knowing their circumstances and life, and how to be open, tolerant, and kind. I think your adoptive parents did a really good job bringing you up.
I love listening to your stories.
I am a filipino and i am so proud of your determination in finding your roots! Now that your mom is alone if you can make her happy for the rest of her life do it without. Bring her with you if it is possible. Sure she is lonely alone. If you can trace her siblings look for them make it happen for them to get acquainted.
Russian is amazing way to go and beautiful painting 🖼 love this story 🙏🏻💕🔥
Great story...i am so happy for you young man.
A nice story Alex. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad that you did not give up forging a relationship with your birth mother.
you are such a smart and nice young man, you made you parents pround!
Such a beautiful story , she loves you I know but she has this guilt.She is more comfortable this time .Every time I watch your videos I get emotional , big hugs ,watching from New York City :)
Alex, as you continue on this journey you'll become a stronger person that will help others around you. Very happy for you you deserve a lot of hugs many hugs. Hope the next visit with your birth mom will be just more rewarding. Have a great weekend. Following you all the way from the Black hills of South Dakota.
You are amazing!! Know one needs to ever say anything bad about your mom.. Just keep your head up..before you know it your mom will be there day or night..There is no time limit on her opening up to you..in due time she will let her wall down..
you're soooo respectfull and loving as a character!
What a lovely memory for you! I'm glad that you are finding joy in learning about and visiting the land of your birth. It's important.
This is an awesome vid bro. Your vids always hit me emotionally. I believe your father is right. Every child needs to connect with their birth mother. It's just amazing to see you connect with your birth parents and blood family. All the best on your journey.
No idea how i got here sacha but man i am invested in your journey now and have spent the last two days binge watching all the video's . subscribed and watching from the uk.
Ты такой молодец, что не бросаешь ее. У тебя такое большое, доброе сердце 🥰
Alex, I am so, so very happy for you! 😊 I got teary eyed too. So glad she's getting closer bonded! 😊
I love how honest and open you are! That is so rare! You should come to America! My daughter goes to a specific private school for youngsters that are really advanced. There is only 8 kids from grade 1-6 and I think it’s hilarious that 7/8 kids are all part or all Russian! I love them singing happy birthday in Russian! We had exchange students from China this year to learn English and to teach them Chinese. I think it might be easier for your sister to do a study abroad program like that where someone could interrupt for her if she couldn’t ask it in any language other then Russian. My husband’s sister is adopted and I know she struggled a lot growing up. I even heard people ask her why she didn’t look like my mother in law which I found to be hurtful. Her mom cried when she asked to find her birth parents so she didn’t. I hope one day that changes before it’s to late. So much love to you. You are such a kind and warm person and it’s a pleasure getting to know you! Sending you and your beautiful family so much love!
Great video Alex, thanks for sharing. I'm sure it was very overwhelming for your mother to meet and see you as well. It was evident from the photos that she was overjoyed to see you and that you turned out to be a great young man. I'm sure that even though it was difficult for your birth mother to give you up for adoption, it gives her joy to see that you are doing well and accomplishing so much with your life.
God blessed u and your family Alex remember we are god children we are brothers and sisters in god eyes
