Born in Kyiv, adopted to United States — looking for biological parents
Matthew Anderson Ukraine , Kyiv ≈ 1979 9374 views
I am an adoptee, born in Kyiv around 1979. For as long as I can remember, I've carried questions about where I came from.
From what I've been able to learn, I was in the care of a state-run children's home in Kyiv before being adopted.
My adoptive parents have always been open about my adoption. They told me what little they knew: that my birth family couldn't provide for another child. That knowledge has always made me want to reach out, not with anger, but with gratitude.
I've tried DNA testing, online registries, and even hired a researcher who specializes in Ukraine adoptions. Each lead brings me a little closer, but I haven't found the answer yet.
If you are my birth family member, or if you know someone from Kyiv who placed a child for adoption around 1979, please know: I am doing well. I am at peace. I would love nothing more than to know you, but I respect whatever boundaries you need. I promised myself I would find them before it's too late.
