Olena Yatchenko took Anna from the social and psychological rehabilitation center for children in the village of Khmilnytsia in the spring of 2024. The Guardian was familiar with the family and attended the same religious organization as Valentyna Pidverbna.
Valentyna Pidverbna gave birth at the age of 65 after artificial insemination. Anna lived with her mother for 12 years but later published posts on social media where she talked about physical and psychological abuse from her mother.
On April 25, 2023, a decision was made to take the child from the mother and place her in a hospital. Then Anna was transferred to the social and psychological rehabilitation center for children in the village of Khmilnytsia, and a year later she ended up in Olena Yatchenko's family.
Olena Yatchenko said that Anna was in a difficult psychological and emotional state after living with Valentyna Pidverbna's family. Olena took care of Anna for a year. During this Time, the girl changed schools and made new friends.
In 2024, Anna underwent two eye surgeries at the 'Okhmatdyt' hospital in Kyiv. The surgeries were successful, and the rehabilitation is going according to plan. After the surgeries, Anna changed the way she sees.
It is also known that Anna previously had a weight problem. She lost 41 kg after changing her diet. In 2024, she began playing the flute and became passionate about bracelet weaving and reading books.
Anna maintains contact with her mother through Olena Yatchenko. She blocked her mother on the phone to avoid unpleasant conversations. The guardianship over Anna will last for another year, after which she will have the opportunity to express her opinion about where she wants to live.
Valentyna Pidverbna gave birth to a daughter at the age of 65. Initially, she reacted well to media inquiries, but later declined to comment. In 2022, her motherhood was challenged by Oksana Spektor, claiming that her eggs were used without her consent for fertilization of Valentyna Pidverbna.
Posts from Anna-Maria appeared on the internet where she spoke about physical and psychological abuse from her mother. In October 2023, the court took the daughter away from Valentyna Pidverbna.
