Yes, we had the same concerns. We traveled blind and turned down 2 referrals due to FAS. However, we used an international adoption clinic in the U.S. to evaluate our referrals to help us determine the risk of FAS. I highly recommend doing that. Our 3rd referral (who is now our son) was given an "average risk" feedback from the IA clinic, and he has been home for 8 months and so far has no signs of FAS.
