In the middle of matching. We are considering adopting 2 siblings. 1 has FAS. We are doing a lot of reading, which by the way all seems so negative in comparison to other conditions we have read about, to see if we are able to provide the level of support needed. We think we are. However the younger sibling of the two (18 months) shows some of the facial features, but SW is insistent that meeting all milestones and bright so definitely does not have it. We feel that if both have it we don't know if that is something we can cope with to a degree to do both children justice. Just wandering if anyone adopted a child whom met all milestones etc but developed FAS or FASD symptoms later on. We want to make sure this is best match for them as they are amazing children and deserve the best parents for them. P.s. Finding Matching process is even harder than expected!
