Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Evaluations
Fetal alcohol exposure is the most common cause of developmental disabilities in children. This evaluation is available for any child regardless if they are adopted or in foster care.
Advocacy, Research, Education & Clinical Services
For every child adopted out of an orphanage or impermanent care situation, millions more languish there. Our philosophy is to do all we can through legislative and educational advocacy to see that those children who remain in institutions or the foster care system have the best possible chance for a future. Some of our work is through action as partners with nonprofit foundations.
