[QUOTE="change, post: 156417, member: 4808"] I was wondering about Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) but asked both our therapists about it and they said supposedly you can't get it from the father. We know the father drank but according to the mother herself (I asked her through a letter...I used to have anonymous contact but now she's disappeared) she was "clean throughout her pregnancies with both kids". She had them back-to-back. I read about Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) very throroughly and you're right, they fit some of the criteria but not really enough of it. Also, my daughter had a SPECT scan recently and it showed ZERO signs of drug pre-natal exposure. (Our therapist says that includes alcohol.) When I put checklists side-by-side of symptoms for differetn disorders, the one that fits the most is bi-polar or conduct disorder. If it's not conduct disorder, then she must have bi-polar. Our son is more likely to have had CD because he was doing such awful things so early. I'm no expert though. What I am an expert on is that they should have NEVER placed such "special needs" children with such ill-equipped parents like us. What a mistake for EVERYONE involved. I feel guilty, my husband feels guilty, and these children and children like them should never be placed with young couples like us (we were in our 20's!) who don't have a clue about these kinds of things to begin with. Most people have no idea the kind of guilt and shame I feel daily. They've both been through multiple diagnotic testings. ADHD has been the only consistent diagnosis.
