Life

Childhood and youth

Alex Gilbert was born on April 1, 1992 in Arkhangelsk, Russia, as "Alexander Wiktorowitsch Guskowskoi". After his birth, Gilbert was placed in a Russian orphanage in Arkhangelsk by his mother Tatiana Guskowskaja. His birth mother was placed in an orphanage as a child. His birth father Mikhail Kowkow did not know of his existence until 2013 when Alex was looking for him. His biological father's name was made on Gilbert's birth certificate and adoption papers.

In 1994, Gilbert and his brother Andrei were adopted by his New Zealand parents, Mark and Janice Gilbert. He grew up in Whangarei , New Zealand and lived there until he was 18 years old. In early 2011 he moved to Auckland to study and work on television.

2013-2014: My Russian Side

Alex was looking for his birth parents in 2013. In November 2013, Gilbert traveled to Russia for the first time to meet her. Gilbert arrived in Moscow first and the next morning he was driven for six hours to see his birth mother, who lived in Rybinsk .

Alex published his book and story, My Russian Side, based on his story.

2015 to date: I'm Adopted

In July 2015 Gilbert established the project “I'm Adopted”, in which other adoptive parents tell their stories. The project is a platform that helps adoptees around the world to share their personal experiences of adoption through social media.

In October 2017, Gilbert went to Russia to visit his orphanage in Arkhangelsk. This was the first time Gilbert had visited the orphanage since leaving in 1994. Gilbert also met Anna Kuznetsova, the children's rights commissioner for the President of the Russian Federation.
