When a parent is told that their baby has a deformity it is very overwhelming. They have many questions that need to be answered.

In many cases parents have no idea what a cleft lip or cleft palate means for their child and their child's future.

This site is designed to provide some of the information parents need to deal with this often unexpected event.

 

Parents of cleft babies don't need to worry about holding and touching their new bundle of joy. Loving and keeping your new baby close to you is the best gift a parent can give.
