International Adoption

It's good that the both of you were adopted and given the laws now and the current situation, I think you would rather wait for things to calm down first. Stay safe

This must have really meant a lot to you. You have a nice heart of helping. I hope that things go your way.

This is strange, hope things change in Russia. Why did Putin pass this law?

I think you can adopt children from Europe or even for less fortunate countries, like south America. Our personal doctor adopted last year two young children from Burkina Faso.

It's an interesting article. It was good that you were adopted with your twin. I hope everything is going well for both of you now.. I think it isn't time yet for you to think about adopting kids from Russia... but the time may be coming, in my opinion.

I hope you and your family are having a good life.

At least you got adopted and you had a good life. Thanks for sharing a good news story.

If you can do Ancestry and send for a DNA test, you may find your birth family or other siblings. How do I know this works? I have an adopted son. He knew who his birth mother is, but he did remember her and none of it was good at all, he wanted nothing to do with her. After he did college and married and had children, he started to listen to me about trying to find his birth father and family, as he wanted any known medical conditions for his children's benefit. He finally took the plunge, and he found his father. A very nice man who had no idea he even existed--long story, but not the father's fault. My son also discovered he had 3 sisters, all married with children, all of them in the same area. He has 8 nieces and nephews, and also a stepmother. They have visited back and forth now for several years, seem very nice. For a family that had no idea that he even existed, they accepted him with open arms, and he now has yet another family. He had 3 half sisters from his mother's relationship (another long story) so with my children included, he has 8 sisters and 1 brother. It all worked out and I am so glad he did this, he would have wondered about it forever, and he is glad now as welll. If you want to know, try to find out! It is all part of your story.
