Hannah was adopted to the USA over 20 years ago and she asked to be reunited with her birth family in Russia. On June 2, 2026, I located her maternal grandmother Irina in Furmanov town. Ivanovo Oblast, Russia. Irina lives alone in a 100-year-old wooden house, and she buried her husband last year. She has a beautiful vegetable garden and orchard, and she loves tending them and growing berries and fruits. She was overjoyed to learn that her granddaughter was searching for her birth family and that she wanted to communicate with her relatives and discover her roots. Hannah's birth mother sadly died in August 2025, and Irina deeply regrets that Hannah was unable to communicate with her mother when she was alive. She showed me numerous family photographs and told in detail about all the family members, who, unfortunately, have all passed away. Irina said that Hannah's birth mother had a very close friend in Furmanov town named Olga. They celebrated 🥳🥂 Birthdays together, and she was delighted that her daughter had found her family in Russia. Olga already communicates with Hannah on social media. Irina had very weak mobile internet, so she's got proper internet installed in her house recently so they communicate comfortably. A temporary wooden cross has been installed at Hannah's mother's grave, and Irina plans to erect a monument on her grave next year. Irina cannot wait to give a hug and kiss😘 to her granddaughter when she comes to Russia, and she will show her the town where she lives and will treat her with traditional Russian cousine. Words cannot express the happiness and joy that Hannah and her charming babushka Irina feel from their happy reunion after a long separation 💕 😹 Today, on July 3, 2026, Irina received the bouquet 🩷🌹 of roses and the postcard on her 64th Birthday from her loving US granddaughter 🎈 🎂
