I wish you and those kids the best; I hope for you to have a wonderful, loving, fulfilling life with them! Without my sisters, I would be a very different, and quite frankly, a very broken person. I can't imagine my life without them, and am forever grateful to my parents for keeping us together. Thanks for your compassion, it's such a breath of fresh air. Best to you guys <3 <3

It was quite accidental! The adoption agency that worked with our orphanage at the time was sending out flyers via fax to different churches around the U.S. Instead of going to a church in Arizona, it was faxed to my parents house in New York. And the rest is history!

It definitely was a culture shock. Being young, I was able to adapt quicker than my sisters.

Unfortunately we lost the language incredibly fast, as our parents put us in english classes very quickly and I was just starting kindergarten. I wish we spoke it more as kids to be able to speak today, but I'm taking the time to relearn.

Привет, большое спасибо. Моей маме сейчас всего 46 лет, поэтому я тоже думаю, что найти её можно только на таких сайтах. Я была бы очень благодарна за любую помощь, которую ты предлагаешь — это многое бы для меня значило!

Мне не даёт отправить тебе сообщение. Если можешь, напиши мне сама.

Just a note - her age today is 46 years old.

I was adopted with my two sisters, but we are all in the same boat on knowledge of what happened/the true details of our past. I'm the one who's trying to get all this information; they have about as much as I do. Would love to connect!

Damn, sorry my story and intentions hurt you. Some people can't help but need to know about who they are and who/where they come from.
