Unfortunately Alaska also has a fairly high rate of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) babies which is not even mentioned in this article.  The best chance any of these little critters have requires getting their mother/parents clean.  Otherwise, the child just doesn't have a chance unless in foster care.  Given the health defects many of them suffer as a result of their mother's substance abuse, they are very difficult to place.   Drugs (including alcohol) are destroying our society.
