You're welcome, Larry. I also was pretty impressed with this one!
Yes, here I go again, with my accuracy and logic. I guess I'll never learn..
Apparently Alexei was also adopted:
"There was also another female child placed in a home in The Netherlands belonging to the Imperial Family. These were difficult times, and no birth control. The common people do not know the pressures on the Royal Families to produce a proper heir, to protect children and families from mixed blood lines, bad blood, assassinations, changelings, use of changelings, and other bloodline issues. The True Crown has enemies going back thousands of years, both within and without.
Similarly, the Tsarevich is NOT a biological son of the Tsar. The Tsar became sexually impotent after his bout with Typhoid fever in 1900. Alexei is actually a son of the Tsar confident friend, General Orlov and the Tsarina Maria Feodorovna. This is why Nicholas II abdicated for his adopted son, he was NOT a Romanov, but by adoption.
I finding it both shocking and appalling that scientists have not figured out the logic that is "family basics", when in comes to a Royal household. Many Royals were changelings, and spread around the continent. Are you against adoptions?"
I particularly enjoy - "Are you against adoptions?"
