So, here was Sissy (4) last weekend:

From the FASLink email group:

“FASD is devastating.
What disability results in sufferers being good at small talk but without substance?
Then add a kind heart but a violent temper,
complex needs but no insight,
a small frame with big expectations
and perhaps worst of all,
a damaged mind
but a beautiful face.”

– Elizabeth Russell

Today is a day I wish didn’t exist.  Today is a day for our nation to recognize the damage drinking while pregnant can inflict on your children.  No amount of alcohol is safe at any point in your pregnancy.  If you don’t think I’m correct, come live in our house and you’ll understand the long-term affects!

My friends at FAS Families of Faith have done a great job sharing about what you can do to help make other aware of FASD.  Please go visit them!
