    Your birth father has tried so hard to welcome you into his life and family from the moment you guys met one another. You can definitely see the strong bond between you and him, even from that first moment you met him. That is so awesome!!!

    Misha is an incredible man, including his wife and little Sonia. He is heartfelt and honest about things. Notwithstanding my utter respect also goes to Mark and Janice, two of the most selfless individuals I have seen. I wish this whole big family including Tatiana a prosperous life. Love from Cape Town, South Africa

    Does your biological father notice how much you resemble and how your mannerisms are similar? Does he see himself in you at times? It is amazing to me how alike you guys are in looks and behaviors. I love his personality!

    Alex, you and your biological father are so much alike in your generous spirit. Your biological father is very sincere very courteous. I am so happy for both of you. My respect for your adoptive parents goes without saying. I am also very impressed with the fact you don’t give up on your biological mother. She does not have anyone really.

      I have a feeling his mum needs lots of hugs and smiles and she will find healing that way. She seems to have softened a lot since the first time, going by what little footage is shown. She looks like a weight is lifted off of her she looks younger for that. She may still need to come to terms with her actions.

      @@louisasmiles His birth mother was raised in an orphanage. My heart breaks for her. Giving her son up for adoption, to an orphanage was what she knew. What was best for her child, too. Look how blessed he is. My prayers are. Birth mom finds peace and security in this rough world. Praying for her that she has, finds peace and love. ✌☮❤💙💜

    You are so blessed Sasha, to have a biological father who immediately loved you and accepted you in his life. He is a good soul and has a beautiful wife and children. They are all blessed to have you in their lives and don't even get me started on your New Zealand parents. They brought you up to be the great person that you are today. I wish someone could help your beautiful mom, Tatiana too. She is so shy and conscious about her teeth/mouth. How I wish someone would give her a makeover. She had a rough life, shame.

  • @georgepetrin1334

    Love this video, Alex. It's obvious your birth father loves and is proud of you. St. Petersburg is indeed a lovely city and your birth father has a lovely family. While he was surprised to find out he had a son, he would probably say the day he found out and the day he got to meet you are both two of the most memorable days of his life. After spending some time with you, as he ever mentioned to you how much of himself he recognizes in you?

    • @alexgilbert
