Question:

Who had a cleft lip/palate?

i had one. i had surgery, but i've never met anyone else w/ it and was wondering what they looked like.


Answers:

Both my husband and son were born with cleft lip and palate. My husband is in his 30's and had his most recent surgery about 7 years ago. My son is almost 6 and has had 10 or so cleft related surgeries.

Until a few years ago, my husband had never met anyone with a cleft lip and palate. Now of course, we meet lots of people through our son's medical team.

A good group for you to join is www.cleftadvocate.org There are lots of adults on the list, as well as parents of kids with clefts. Lots of photos, support, and just people you can feel at home with. I encourage you to sign up.

Take care.
