[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are white and adopted an AA baby girl. She is now 8 and happy healthy and thriving. We belong to a transracial support group and none of the other kids have FAS. Yes there is risk, but I have 2 friends who gave birth to children with severe disabilities so it can happen that way too. Don’t let your fears get in the way if you truly know this is the way you want a family. [/quote] This. You'll probably have an easier change of adopting being bi-racial. Drug exposure is only one risk. I would also be worried about mental health history of bipolar and schizophrenia and other things. Your child birth or adoption can end up with serious issues and some might have been prevented, others not.[/quote]
