Vanya's Lost Connection with his Birth Mother and Siblings in Russia

Simulcast from an Adoption story. Made with the support from our friends at MyHeritage. Vanya Syron was adopted from a regional orphanage in Arkhangelsk, Russia in the late 1990s by his New Zealand parents. With information that his parents held onto about his birth family, he managed to get a letter through to his Birth Mother in 2010. Since then, Vanya had lost contact but hopes to re-connect with her and his siblings in Arkhangelsk. This is his story.
