our services

The services we provide begin with locating the relative being sought, naturally. In the cases where the address is known, we provide initial contact via Russian certified mail. Phone and/or e-mail contact follow (if possible), and arrangements are made to meet for an interview, if granted. Our searchers then travel the vast expanse of Russia to meet with the relative, visiting the orphanage and whatever other places may be necessary along the way. A successful search will result in photos, video, letter correspondence and, in cases where so desired, arranging for the adoptive family to visit the birth-family.

What Mary Has to Say

My name is Mary - an adoptive parent. I adopted a daughter from Russia. I recently made contact with her Russian birthmother and Russian family members. Through my search I have made many contacts. I would now like to help others who are considering searching for their own Russian birthmother, Russian siblings or even orphanage friends. Throughout the years I had always wondered about my child's Russian birthmother. I was told she had returned to the Russian orphanage after the adoption to make an inquiry. This happened a few years after the adoption. My search started by way of the internet. I was scanning for pictures of her Russian town, and up popped a photo of a girl who looked like my child! I could not believe it! That was just the beginning of my little adventure. Our family has traveled back to Russian twice now and we have made many friends along the way.

Please read my story and send me an e-mail. My contacts in Russia can help, with success. They are available to send translated letters, make phone calls, and visit families and Russian orphanages. They are honest, trustworthy, and an asset to any American family searching. We are a much "softer" alternative to a Russian detective agency. Our friends are skilled journalists who search and interview with compassion, confidentiality, high ethical standards, and most importantly - they do not give up.
