[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 367777"] Midwest - Thanks so much for the information. I'm horrified at the thought of difficult child having Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) in combination with the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) - not otherwise specified, because I understand it is a form of brain damage - permanent and irreversible. He doesn't have the obvious facial features, but in terms of behavior - I wonder. I would love to have a heart-to-heart with his birthmom about it, but she has not kept in contact and seems to prefer things that way. I'm not sure where she is any more. I can't stop the "what if" thinking - all the unknowns. What will the future hold if he does have pre-natal alcohol exposures?
