Our FASD Stories

At MOFAS families are the inspiration behind what we do each day. The stories of families living with FASD motivate us just as they motivate, teach and inspire other families, health care and education professionals, legislators, law enforcement and judicial workers, and other members of our communities.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are often called “the invisible disability”. If you would like to add your family to our visible network of families living with FASD, please consider posting your story here. You must be a registered MOFAS Virtual Family Center member to submit a story.

This FASD diagnostic clinic receives support from Project Harmony, one of the MOFAS grantees. One day last April, Diane was at clinic, and after all the clinicians finished giving the results of their testing for a young lady, this young lady’s mom just broke down and cried. She said, “Thank you, thank you. We’ve known something wasn’t right all along, but nobody could figure it out, and now we finally know.”

Diane shared, “This was truly one of the most heart warming and emotional experiences. I am so proud of the work that Project Harmony is doing. Thank you MOFAS.”
