GB's Mom at Adopting Special Needs posted an article on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome on the Foster 2Forever page here. It was good for me to see the items she posted in her article again. When the girls came to our family, I did a lot of research on FAS. I used both of these items when discussing things with the doctors. As I was reviewing the items today, I was reminded that these issues don't go away.
We have learned to live adjusting for their needs. It makes some very difficult days for our entire family. Some of the items I wasn't sure of two years ago, I am sure of now. It is amazing how God has helped us adjust. Our family definitely functions differently than before the girls came. It is all part of God's plan, the good and the bad.
What I often wonder is should I be getting more outside help. We do okay now. A lot of teaching goes on around here all the time.
Thanks to GB's Mom for sharing today. It reminds me that the things I see and live with are real and not just in my mind. It is hard when the issues happen mainly at home. They are beginning to be seen by people that my girls are with on a regular basis now.
