In the U.S. and countries around the world, children are born each day to mothers who drank alcohol while they were pregnant. Many of these children are taken away from their biological mothers and later are adopted by families who will care for them. International adoptions are increasingly popular and as more American families adopt children from other countries, doctors say they are seeing more cases of fetal alcohol syndrome.

  • I am a social worker who doesn’t believe that social work is about "saving" people or "helping" people. Social work is about reform and empowerment; about re-directing the power from those in control to the people. It is not my voice that matters, but those who are oppressed in society. I am attempting to be an agent of change from within the institutional structures that historically have been used to discriminate against those our society does not value. This blog was born in March of 2006 as a way to put down my thoughts about international and transracial adoption, foster care, race and social work from a point of view that is often missing - the adoptee themselves.
