The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute just released the executive summary of its recent research study entitled Beyond Culture Camp: Promoting Healthy Identity Formation in Adoption. I’m so excited to see this published study because, although the results aren’t really all that new if you already listen to the voices of adult adoptees, this study will reach a much wider audience of adoptive parents. And since they are the ones raising this next generation of adoptees, they are the ones most needing to hear the results.

There are services for children with Autism, for children with Down Syndrome, for children who have Cerebral Palsy, and all other developmental delays but FASD is an invisible disability (and a shunned one at that) and for the most part it goes unnoticed.
