A problem only for our native peoples?This is not the caseI see the ignorance everyday"But your child has a normal face!â€
Don’t they see the travesty,The need for services there?As an adoptive parent I fight hard each dayIt seems like so few care.
If my children had been brain injuredin an accidentOr even born with Down’sI wouldn’t have to fight SO hardOr deal with placating frowns.
Their poisoned brains are damaged!Their deficits not their choice!They can succeed when supportedThey need an external voice!
The cracks my children fall throughAre w-i-d-e and have no fundsThey’re bridged with inappropriate programsFor those where change can be done.
Ignoring FASD costs moneyBut more than you can seeIt breaks our children’s spirits,their families and communities.
Prevention, diagnosis and care will costBut this you must know wellNothing costs more than breaking a childWho innocently was born into hell.
My heart screams loudly for themThey must get the help they need.As mother I made a sacred pact.And for your commitment I plead.
A problem only for our native peoples?Again I say not trueThe travesty of FASDIs part of me and YOU!
