I manage a database of children adopted from Russia to see if there are any biological siblings that have been adopted by another family. I am an adoptive mom of two kids and just interested in helping others connect their kids with biological siblings as I don't know of any other way.
My son is 7 1/2 and my daughter is 4 1/2. I have virtually no information on my sons birthfamily as we adopted in 1998 and I was clueless at the time about list serves or anything else. So, I had no knowledge about asking questions at the hospital we adopted him from. The doctor asked if we had any questions and we said no. We had 45 minutes with our son before court and we wanted to spend every minute with him. His medical report stated it wasn't her first pregnancy or birth. I don't know what happen to the other children. His birthmother was a lso very young so I am wouldn't be surprised if he has other siblings. Fast forward to now and my son is asking me tons of questions about his birthmother. I feel real bad I can't provide him with anything. For my daughter I have tons of stuff. I thought if I could locate a sibling that was adopted maybe they would have some information on the birthfamily that I didn't. I also would like to connect him with any biological siblings he may have. I know how precious my relationships are with my siblings. I have talked to my agency about it and they blatantly said there was no way they could help me. I decided to take this on. I will not give out any information to people. I will only email the two people with a match and say you guys need to talk. I will let them decide how much they want to reveal to each other. I too am concerned about the information and that is why I am keeping it on my home pc. I don't want some hacker getting onto the website and getting the information. Plus this way I can instantly tell you when you have a match versus having to go back and check all the time. Filling out this form will be sent directly to my email box. I will respond back to you to let you know I have received your information. I have over 150 kids on it so far and I hope it will keep growing. I am truly doing this to help people as well as myself. I feel I can tell my son and daughter one day that at least I tried. I am on several list serves that I post to occasionally but usually I send personal notes. I also handle membership for the FRUA Michigan chapter. If you have further questions, you can email me at mom2russians@yahoo.com . Julie Sitek
