Dad and Daughter A father enjoys time with his 25-year-old adopted daughter. The girl has fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition that results from exposure to alcohol during fetal development. The symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome—which can be avoided by abstaining from alcohol during pregnancy—include delays in physical growth, learning disabilities, and problems with anxiety, attention, and impulse regulation (Mayo Clinic, 2011, May 21).
