Find Birthsiblings of Children Adopted From Russia

With so much going on right now- I cannot formulate a big long post about finding my son's siblings. I hope to soon. ONLY if their mother is amenable to it. I will not post anymore personal info or photos unless I have her ok.

Anyway- this information is needed and I will write more about what you can do to find a child's birthsiblings or birthparents.

I wrote in this post about Natasha. She told me what is needed according to Russian authorities to find a sibling of an adopted child from Russia. An adopted sibling of an adopted child from Russia. Get it? Here goes:

• Write a short letter requesting to contact the other adoptive parents


• Mail the original letter and a translation of the letter to the address of the Ministry of Education supervising your particular region.


• The Ministry of Education will send a letter to you acknowledging receipt of your request.


• The Ministry of Education will contact the other adoptive parents.


• The Ministry of Education will send you a second letter with the decision of the other adoptive parents.

Unfortunately the process takes some time.

Natasha can do the research to find the right address for the corresponding Office of the MOE or Center of Guardianship and Adoption for your Region.

By the law Ministry of Education handles this type of request, and they are the only ones required by law to respond to your request.

Again, there is a link to Natasha's web site in the title.
