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.

Although I had previously been familiar with FAS and FAE, I didn’t really “get” FASD.

My involvement with MOFAS began when my daughter was diagnosed with FASD. MOFAS has been supportive of our parent support group to provide trainings and education in the north metro and this year a couple of family fun events.

When we first learned our 13 year old son had FASD, I was hopeful in my search for answers. Five years later, I have concluded that raising a child with FASD is a lot like climbing an endless mountain.
