Good for you Lena. You are tackling the problem set before you and enjoying life.
My adopted 39 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with fetal alcohol. Your
Story is an inspiration for us.

Thanks for sharing your story. My mother didn’t believe that alcohol was harmful, yet I have struggled with issues related to her only occasional drinking while pregnant. The part I hate the most is getting bullied because I try so hard to do my best.

Lena,
As a grandparent raising 2 FASD children, you give me hope for their future. God bless you!

I am the administrator of CUSA, the Christian support group mentioned in this article. Lena has brought a completely new dimension to our apostolate of persons with disabilities. I would like to encourage others with similar disabilities to go to our web site (www.cusan.org) to learn more about us and the kind of work that Lena does.

I’m amazed by your story, Lena. I’ve known you through our church, but somehow the friendship was just on the acquaintance level , not because I was judgmental, but because you and I have always been busy with our own schedules.
I’m glad to have read your story, and I really hope that we could be real friends.
God Bless You. Keep the Faith
