Alina Martinson's Story

2 min read

Published 19 June 2026

Hello, I'm Adopted Community. My name is Alina Martinson. I am an international adoptee from Russia, and I am currently searching for my biological roots and my birth mother. For a long time, I have hoped to reconnect with my past, and I am sharing my story today in the hope that someone in Russia can help. Kristina. Born, May 1986. Key Location: Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast.

I have reached out via social media to a potential contact matching this profile, but I have not yet received a confirmation or reply. Because finding a biological family can be a delicate process, I want to approach this with the utmost respect for everyone's privacy while still holding onto the hope of a connection.

If you live in or near Serpukhov, or if you know a Kristina born in May 1986, please reach out. Any small lead, memory, or piece of advice on how to navigate local records in the Moscow region would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much to Alex Gilbert and the entire community for creating a space where adoptees can share their journeys.

Warmly,

Alina Martinson
