I adopted my daughter from Orel 10 years ago...2001. If you have more video of the orphanage I would love to see it so I could show her. We didn't take any video while we were there
It was so cool she got to go back! I eventually want to adopt internationally and I think its important when they're older to see their birthplace in person.
where in russia was this orphanage.. i dont know why but it looks alot like the pictures where my mom adopted me.. is in yekaterinburg (i dont know how to spell)
I was adopted too...Detsky Dom 13 if I recall correctly. Came here bout 13 years ago since I was adopted at age 10 and been longing to go back and visit...never happened but that's about to change hopefully with my new job. Stil remember my moms name and everything and been trying to contact...if anyone knows the best way to go bout this please let me know...thnks.
What a Wonderful Video! A true tribute from a loving family. Please tell me which agency you used. I would love to visit the same orphange to seek adoption...but I imagine it would be hard to leave any of those beautiful children behind when you left.
Very heartwarming! We're awaiting our call to go back to Russia to become a family forever. How special it would be to have the chance like you to return with her so she can see where she spent her first 2 years of her life.

there's a russian tv show that helps to reconnect for people. It helped for a lot of people to find each others.
it\s called ''wait for me'' i think

Great video! My daughter is now 5 from Vladimir Russia. Looks like 10 is a good age to go back.
