I am a single mom to two Russian sibs, 10 and 12, bio-sibs adopted just 4
years ago from northern Kazakhstan. They are ethnically Russian. We all
bonded quickly, but both kids have been plagued by their early traumatic
experiences. It is so sad. We’ve been in therapy from the get-go, so I can’t
even imagine how hard it would be if we hadn’t! Yulia has a “good little
girl” persona, but has dissociative episodes at home. Yuri is more “out
there” with his angry and defiant behavior – to such an extent that he has
been moved to a behavioral classroom. Neither is able to develop interests
that require commitment and following through. Parenting has been so
all-consuming that I have not YET – after 4 years – been able to return to
fulltime work. We went everywhere in the US and finally made it to Dr Federici’s
after everyone told us he was the absolute best in the toughest situations.
We just got back from Dr.Federici 2 weeks ago…. It was incredibly helpful
to have many of our working hypotheses validated, but also to get new insights
- about what meds to take, what kind of therapy will be effective, etc. So
right now we are looking for a very seasoned trauma therapist in the NY
area who will work with us as a family. If anyone has any suggestions on that
front, please let me know!
Thanks to all who referred me to this great Doctor Federici..he saved our family. the best we have met after years.

Hi Ron,
Jeff and I can’t thank you enough for your encouragement and the abundance of knowledge you shared with us on how to heal and manage Anna’s issues! I truly meant it when I told you prior to leaving today, that you are an “angel” sent from above…..God has been so good to us by blessing us with your presence this past 3 days.
We (or should I say , “I”) have a lot of work ahead of us but I know unequivocally we can conquer Anna’s issues due to your impeccable training techniques.
Jeff really took to heart your insight regarding Wade – Jeff was one hurt puppy when you left. He pondered for a while your suggestions on how to help Wade and shared with me his thoughts on what we need to do going forward. Tonight, he spent some time alone with Wade to discuss your concerns. Wade openly admitted he is lonely living at his mom’s house and would like to spend some additional time with us.
Again, our gratitude goes beyond words and know that you always have a place to stay when you visit Birmingham…the Davis family welcomes you with open arms at any time! We love that you brought us solid answers/facts on how to begin and move forward with Anna’s healing process.
You, my friend, have an incredible heart for others, especially children…and God will continue to bless you for your love and kindness on this earth.
Our love,
Sheri and Jeff
