AN ADOPTION STORY
An Adoption Story is our ongoing documentary series that explores the lives of adoptees and their journeys through life, family, and identity.
Each story shares moments of connection, reflection, and discovery, offering an insight into the experiences that shape who we are. Every episode begins with the person sharing their story from the very beginning.
Our series continues to grow, with new stories being filmed and shared on Alex Gilbert’s YouTube channel and through the I’m Adopted website. Three episodes from the latest season are also available on NZ On Screen.Visit on NZ On Screen
Season 3 of the series is currently being filmed and is scheduled for release in 2026.
Follow Alex Gilbert on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for updates and behind-the-scenes from the upcoming season.
What else dvina. does
dvina. is where film, design, and technology meet. Alongside producing An Adoption Story, we work on a variety of creative projects that bring ideas to life, whether it’s behind the camera, developing an online experience, or helping others tell their story. We focus on production that's related to adoption.
We are also a social enterprise through our adoption work, helping to support and grow the
I’m Adopted community. While the registered charity focuses on meet-ups and community events, dvina. helps run the website, Facebook community, and produces resources such as the
An Adoption Story series and other adoption related content that strengthens our global community.
