[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 102756, member: 3626"] You could try calling social services and see if they'll step in. However, from what I understand about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), the damage is done in the first trimester, so probably a moot point by now. I'm so sorry. My daughter more than likely has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) but no one is sure and there really isn't a test as yet to determine it. Her biomom was an alcoholic from age 12 or 13. Honestly, if you think the infant has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), I'd think long and hard about raising the child. The neurological damage is irreversible and there really isn't much today in the way of therapy that really helps. You must be very proud of your son that he is so willing to straighten up for his soon-to-be-child. Most men would do everything in their power to deny any responsibility, especially when there was no true affection between the "adults." However, be sure there is a paternity test to be on safe side once the child is born. Whatever you decide and whatever the final outcome, I wish you the best. [/QUOTE]
