At another Chicago clinic, Dr. Ira Chasnoff, a pediatrician, was testing kids and teens who’d been adopted or were in foster care and having serious behavioral problems. Nearly 30 percent of these youngsters had fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Eighty percent had not received a diagnosis of this kind previously.

Some pretty shocking statistics and horrible stories. So many of the kids in the city had no chance.

Wow quite shocking.

On one hand even before the woman knows she is pregnant she can cause issues. Which is terrifying. Also its why I was always scared shitless to adopt. You do not know what or how the child was taken care of that can cause huge problems.

That's a depressing read.
