A mother in Canada “said she knew at the outset that adopting children with FASD would require her to constantly learn and adapt. One of the biggest challenges she worries about now is the stigma of simply having FASD. She said it all goes back to a sense of shame perpetuated in society and a desire to place blame for FASD on birth mothers. This mom by adoption says it's time for it to stop, and that the stigma only makes it harder for people to get the help they need.
