This paper will address the growing community problem of caring for children, young people and adults with disabilities stemming from alcohol related birth defects. It will begin with an outline of the problem followed by examples of how parents can produce multiple children damaged in utero by alcohol and/or drug consumption. The process of diagnosing these children and looking at proven strategies for successfully and safely raising them will be discussed. Finally, the importance of the foster parents and their specific needs will be addressed.
