I've posted this on the Ukraine forum but have copied it to this one on the possibly false assumption that Ukrainian and other E. European realities re: this question are similar.
I am wondering if I should try to establish contact with my son's birthfamily ( we have a four year old address in Rural Chernihiv, Ukraine) and if so, how to go about it with the best hope of not being rebuffed. Thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Tony,
I know there is a yahoo chat group called BirthParentContact. It's for international adoptions, including people who have already have birthparent contact and people in your position. I wasn't able to join because we haven't completed our adoption, but you should be able to get some help there.
Good luck,
Larpar

Hi Tony--- We contacted our Russian Birthmother. I have put the story on the web. I actually chat with someone who has done the same in the Ukraine. My story is at: [url="http://www.russianfamilysearch.com"]www.russianfamilysearch.com[/url] Some Russian/Ukraine are for it. They are not used to this idea. It is new to them. I think I read they usuallykeep adoption a secret. We felt it was in the best interest to help our little Russian daughter.
