Anya’s Journey Searching Through Those Birth Family Links

Simulcast from an Adoption story. Made with the help from our friends at MyHeritage. Mother of three Anya Gibson, lives right down in the far south of New Zealand. She was adopted at the age of four from a regional orphanage (Number 12) inside of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Prior to her adoption, she was looked after by her grandmother but found out later that she was placed into the orphanage due to her grandmother not being able to look after her.  She has managed to track down connections but there are still many questions unanswered. She shared with me her journey from the very beginning.  This is her story.
