#128 Sara and Brad Evans From Faking It to Making It: An FASD Success Story!
Brad and Sara Evans went from a loud, outgoing family involved in their community, to question why they ever left the house. Everybody knew them and loved them. Until they adopted their young great-niece and nephew. They anticipated challenges, because of the children’s background, but because they didn’t know about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, they were not prepared for the challenges they faced.
In the beginning, it was like walking on eggshells every day. They expected their niece and nephew to function like their 5 bio kids, including their 3 and 5-year-olds, and respond to the same parenting strategies, but they did nor could not.
If you are like Sara was, yelling to be heard, and Brad thinking discipline is all you need, then check out their story and find out what they did to turn things around and you can learn what’s working now from Jeff and other FASD parents and caregivers with 800+ years experience.
