ABOUT THE BOOK

THROUGH THE EYES OF THE
ADOPTIVE MOTHER

This is part of the forward by Dr. Ronald Steven Federici, Board-Certified Developmental Neuropsychologist, Father of Eight Internationally Adopted Children from Severely Traumatic Backgrounds.

Phoenix Bound makes no secret of the severity of abuse, neglect, deprivation, chaos and confusion
that their children have experienced in their home countries in addition to the unwillingness of American medicine and psychological professionals to understand and support their cause. This is an
incredible book highlighting the resiliency of the human spirit of the children in addition to the incredible commitment of parents who have taken on the most damaged children in which traditional psychology would have failed them every time and the parents, themselves along with their own “network” have found ways for positive change and rehabilitation on their “Phoenix Bound Quest.”
