IS FASLINK FOR YOU?
As of July 1, 1999, there were over 300 members. Of these, about 50 people write notes regularly. On any given day, there might be as few as 10 notes or as many as 100, depending on what is being discussed. Members include professionals, parents, friends, and persons with FAS/FAE. Families of all types share on FASLINK. Birth parents, grandparents, foster/adoptive families, relatives, friends, and supportive individuals all learn from each other.
Although most notes relate to the serious issues of facing the challenges of FAS/FAE, some jokes and funny stories are exchanged as well. To get an idea of the light side of Faslinkers, visit Fasaholics Anonymous web page. If you have questions (or answers) about FAS/E issues, want to learn more about what living with FAS/E is all about, have a sense of humor, and don't mind a mailbox that fills up quickly, then FASLINK is for you.
