Birth Family Search and Contact
Karen Holt has been an member of the international adoption community and actively supported birth family searching and contact since 2002. She began working with Ruslan so that birth mother searches could continue, and so that birth and adoptive families could continue to communicate. Together, Karen and Ruslan have a combined 36 years experience in navigating international adoption searches. We have adoptive parent clients in USA, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, Israel, Belgium and more.
Our team can do a search if the adoptee's birth parents are from Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Moldova, Uzbekistan and most other countries of the former Soviet Union. For more countries, read below.
Your final written report will include detailed information gathered during the meeting with the birth family: full names, birth dates, physical addresses, email addresses and other contact information. We provide details about the family history, medical history and circumstances surrounding the relinquishment. You will get many photos and we can also prepare a video for you.

Correspondence Intermediary
After your search, you may want to stay in contact with the birth family. Your report will include complete contact information provided by the birth family. We can translate and mail your correspondence from in country so that a letter to a rural village does not draw attention. If you choose, we can be a confidential intermediary so that you can correspond through us, without revealing your contact information.
