We have friends who adopted a child with FAS and so we have witnessed the effects of it first hand.  Trinity and I read a book about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and this is what she derived from our reading.

 

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)

 

F A S is a disease you get when your mom drinks alcohol when she is pregnant.  Alcohol can damage the baby’s brain so they can’t think properly. It can also damage parts of their body. There is no safe amount of alcohol the baby can have.  When the mom drinks alcohol it goes from her bloodstream right to the baby.  The baby’s liver is not strong enough to clean the baby’s body. Most of the time you can’t tell that a baby has FAS until they are older and they can’t learn the same.  A woman should never drink alcohol when she is pregnant.
