Simulcast from an Adoption story. Viktoria was born in the North of Russia, in a city called Severodvinsk. She was adopted at the age five by her New Zealand parents who also adopted another child from the neighbourhood city and my birth city, Arkhangelsk.
She connected with her birth mother in 2019 after she reached out to me for help. She is still however, continuing her journey with those connections overseas and hopes to meet more of her family around Russia and Ukraine.
This is her story.
