There was one huge room with a lot of beds end to end to end, and I think we were arranged by age,&#8221; recalled the music major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p>Planning to graduate in August, Detherow, who plays clarinet, now lives in Red Bank with her adopted mom, Hannah, and Dawn, the daughter of her mom&#8217;s biological daughter, Jennifer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My mom adopted her granddaughter and now she&#8217;s my sister,&#8221; Detherow explained with a shrug of a smile.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping track of her family tree can be something of a climb. Along with Jennifer, who was born in the U.S., there are brothers Andrew and James and sister Tatiana, all of whom were adopted from Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Detherow and Andrew were adopted at the same time in 2001. James was adopted in 2002 and Tatiana in 2003. Her mother has been a single parent the entire time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She really connects with allowing kids to have a great life and allowing them to have the ability to succeed,&#8221; Detherow said. &#8220;My mom is my biggest supporter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although she&#8217;s been gone from Ukraine for 21 years, Detherow said the country&#8217;s recent invasion by Russia is frightening. She doesn&#8217;t know any members of her biological family, so part of her wonders whether any of them are still alive, she said.<\/p>\n<p>More unnerving, though, is the fate of Olga Sergeevna, the director of the orphanage where Detherow lived in the city of\u00a0Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi on the Black Sea. She and Sergeevna have been in touch since Detherow was in middle school.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s still in Ukraine and I&#8217;m just worried for her safety and all the kids that she takes care of,&#8221; Detherow said.<\/p>\n<p>Detherow hasn&#8217;t been in direct contact with Sergeevna since the invasion began but has seen a few posts on the orphanage director&#8217;s Facebook page. Through those, Detherow knows Sergeevna helped safely evacuate some orphans to Poland several weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She stayed back because she has family in Ukraine that didn&#8217;t want to leave and so she just could not leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was going try to send her some money, and I&#8217;m trying to find a way I can do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While a mystery to Detherow, her Ukrainian birth mother left a lasting effect. Drinking heavily while Detherow was in the womb led to a lifelong battle with fetal alcohol syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has definitely affected my ability to understand certain things I&#8217;m reading and doing tests. I have bad test anxiety,&#8221; Detherow said.<\/p>\n<p>She receives help from the UTC Disability Resource Center, she said, and also is able to take extended time on her tests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then I just do the best I can on my classwork and stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since enrolling in UTC in 2019, she has created a second family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have really enjoyed being part of the UTC music family. Everyone is very supportive,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m thankful to have made so many accomplishments that I possibly would not have made this far in my education.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paulina Detherow came to the United States when she was 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/05\/adopted-from-ukraine-music-major-earning-a-utc-degree\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":42952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,12777,64,661],"tags":[119430],"class_list":{"0":"post-42949","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","8":"category-music-college-of-arts-sciences","9":"category-news","10":"category-students","11":"tag-paulina-detherow","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
