AngFL nailed it. That's exactly how we feel. We KNOW the children are at-risk for FAS, however, we believe with all of our hearts that they will grow up to be healthy, normally-functioning adults, and we naively, I suppose, almost expect that. I truly hope we aren't being way too naive. Hopefully when we see the children in person, from more than just one photo, we'll be able to watch for the tell-tale signs and markers of the disease.
