The NOFAS Circle of Hope is an organization created to support birth mothers of children with FASD. Their vision is to become a h2 international network that will work to mentor women who are struggling with addiction or have used alcohol or other drugs while pregnant. Most members have a child or children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Their mission is to increase understanding and support for birth mothers and to strengthen recovery for women who drank during their pregnancies as well as to support their families.
