The purpose of the video is to promote awareness of the problem among teenagers who are at risk for both unplanned pregnancy and substance use.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and a spectrum of associated disorders, sometimes calledFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), is a permanent birth defect caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. The term fetal alcohol effects (FAE) or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) is applied to children whose mothers are known to have drunk heavily during pregnancy and who exhibit some, but not all, features of alcohol-related facial malformation.

@diamonds4rubies she didn’t give him alcohol. he was adopted by her and his mother drank alcohol through out her pregnancy. That is why she is so heartbroken because the last thing a true mother (adopted or biological) would want is to have her kid with some sort of disability. I think it took alot of guts for her to share her story to the world so a little more? respect should be in order. Thank you.
@catzlemon I wonder what kind of guilt you must have. To know that a decision, and only a decision, caused permanent damage to an innocent child. To debilitate another human being, your child nonetheless, for life. Do you look back and think ’9 months? of abstaining from the drink would have been hell for me (if you were/are an alcoholic), but at least I could have kept this helpless person inside of me safe’? 270 days of selflessness in return for a fully functioning child.
mario music FTW? !
This is? a good enough reason to ban alcohol.
if a mother drinks while pregant she should be? charged with child abuse
@Shukria123 i hate? alcohol to it cause alot of harm pain and suffering alcohol should be banned
dsda?
There should be legal repurcussions for women who drink while pregnant. After all if you gave a baby alcohol in a baby bottle, I’m sure this would be dire consequences. What’s the difference… evcept that the child is being fed alcohol while a developing embryo. It’s an absolute disgrace that these woman are willingly harming yheir children,? who have no say in the matter whatsoever!!!
If you’re not responsible enough to NOT fucking drink whilst pregnant, don’t? have a baby at all.
I HATE alcohol.?
@Newborn228 I’m FASD as well. I have ADHD, BP, Attachment Disorder, and social phobia. It sucks. I feel your pain because I’ve experienced it myself. I’m sorry you had? to go through this, and still have to. This really hits close to home with me because I know the pain and anguish that life brings with this condition. Any time you need to talk message me, please.
I live in a group home and have a roomate with FAS. I? myself have Tourette’s Syndrome, OCD, and Asperger’s.
DONT READ? THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED? ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE? LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL? BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR? LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS TO 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAY. NOW YOU? HAVE STARTED? READING THIS DONT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY, PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL? APPEAR ON THE SCREEN? IN BIG? LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT REALLY WORKS
I’m FASD.
Apparently everything falls into FASD.
Schizophrenia, Delusions, Depression, etc.
I guess because it makes other illnesses more prone.
But, I don’t think they should say it’s because of FASD.
Maybe you were already born with it, and it just took time for it? to show?
I’m a foster, and my foster parent thinks that every difficulty I announce is from FASD.
I’m tired of it. I just want her to listen to me. Don’t give me sympathy, or getting some doctor else to indoctrinate me.
I need help.
I’m not the least bit religious… but if there were such a thing as angels, they would be the people who adopt kids with FAS.
and mothers of children with FAS who? drank during pregnancy should feel guilty about ruining their kid’s life

@catzlemon – thank you for your comments — your comments will help others. Please forgive yourself and remember that the Mercy of God is far greater than all of our sins combined. God will watch over you and your son.? Regards…
Thank you for this video. I was unaware of my pregnancy due to PTSD and? the numbing effects of alcohol. Unfortunately for my wonderful son, he is suffering from my alcohol abuse. The guilt is unbelievable and shaming. I wish I could turn back the clock and relive that time in my life, but I can’t. I am blessed because my son is loved by all. He is friendly and outgoing and laughs constantly. I pray, like other mothers, that he will one day be able to hold a job and be independent.
FAS must have existed sixty years ago. There were communities in the South where violence and alcoholism? was rampant. I bet a sizeable number of kids there were born with FAS.
