@ugyenlhamo You have your right to be bitter. We have our right to believe and thank our Lord Jesus Christ and be full of love instead of hatred like you are. Please do not write comments in our son's video anymore. This is for people who are looking for hope not for nasty comments like yours.
@MultiHazna There are people so damaged that need to look at other's weaknesses to feel better about themselves. Do not pay attention to them. I am sure you have a family that loves you, and you are in many ways a huge blessing to everyone around you. You are not an Alien, you are simply special! Do not worry about the scar, that is a part of who you are, and you are perfect! God bless you
My son was bor wit a cleft lip & Palate jus like this baby here he had the bi lateral cleft he is 7 now done had 10 surgeries he jus got a palate expander put n about 2 months ago this week we go bac an we should be done expanding his mouth an sould get the okay to have next surgery!
@mrslylbyt I am sorry your son had to endure so many surgeries. My son Darkito only had 2. One at 3 months old and another at 6 months old. That is why we work very hard on letting people know there are other techniques and options to operate on our sons. Where are you located?
@Kennylivestoday without Jesus, people wouldnt care less about another life nor bless the doctors for wisdom and support. :) It is by faith in Jesuu that kept the parents striving forward in joyful, knowing that there will always be a better tomorrow.
I cried to this vid, I was born cleft lip and palate on my left side, and Im 14 years old now. It just amazes me what modern medicine and hope can do for people like him and me. School is hard at first just because of people noticing scars and lip deformities, but you shouldn't ever listen to them because god made you that way for a reason :')
@1anmonty1 Thanks for this wonderful comment, I am sure you are a huge blessing to your family and friends, and the Lord have great plans for you. I hope my son Darkito grows up to be a great kid like you are. God bless you!
This is the first vid of a cleft that has bought tears to my eyes!!! Reminds me so much of my son. He was also born with the bilateral cleft lip & palette!! Your son, like mine, has a beautiful son!
And for all u out there who are pregnant, ur children will b beautiful no mattet what, and there are some wonderful surgeons in this world, so try not to worry to much! They will b fine!!
i am currently pregnant with my 2nd child and found out that he has a cleft lip and palate at a scan at 14 weeks. i was so upset about this, but seeing the pictures of your beautiful son, has made me feel alot better about it. thank you for making this beautiful video :)
Everything is going to be fine with your baby. My daughter has a cleft and we didn't know till she was born. Take comfort in the fact that you already know and can prepare for it. She is 8 now and she is beautiful. Her scar has faded and you can't tell anything ever happened.

my daughter was born with a vleft lip and palate in 2007 and i thought exactly the same as you and now i think she was sent that way to show how special she is and was to the world...... only special people have children that need help because whoever is up there knows people like us can give them the love and help they need...
i looked at Darkito's pictures on that website. It is amazing the change! He is beautifull. Congrats on everything. I wish you the best with this 2nd pregnancy and the years to come with your children. God bless.
Im 15 years old, and im seven months pregnant with Jayden Keith who has a unilateral cleft lip and palate. I found out yesterday and ive been worried sick. The grief overtook my joy that its a baby Boy!! I was blinded. But god does amazing work through doctors. Watching this brought so much hope into my heart. God bless you.

omg this gave me goosebumps, as mother of a son i could never imagine what you guys have went through. Truly Amazing the technology that made this possible for this adorable boy!!!!
This boy was were lucky to be born in 21st cetury and in the USA because I met one women from my country who surely suffered from this "defect" and she surely had some operation but not as a baby probably much more later so she could talk and she was a piano teacher and very nice person but she just sounded little bit like a robot.
@rymicka the sad thing is is that most kids in the world arent able to be treated for this because there parents cant afford it and that really does suck
i also have Cleft Lip & Palate. i'm already 18yo. i just had my 4th surgery last year. i am still not okay with this. many still can't understand my speaking. i'm slowly losing hope in getting this right. i wanna post video blogs and videos with me singing but i can't coz i still can't speak well. i wanna speak well already.
I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and what I am thinking is: Why are you thanking your so-called god? He is the one who fucked up your kid in the first place. He is a bastard. That is, if he even exists.
i was born with a cleft lip and palate and i used to think that way, i stoped cuz i realized god made me like this for a reason. im an arogant asshole and if i was born normal or w/e id probably be a pretty boy stuck up duecebag piece of shit arogant asshole, im glad im not perfect and i dont want to be im better then populare kids and w/e, im 16 and i used to take alot of shit from people cuz of my lip and nose but ive seen butt ugly guys get with sexy girls and the dudes arnt rich or famous
just becuz u where born differnt does not mean u should hate God , he made u that was to show ohters that we are all different in our own spicial way, i was born with one working kidney , i spent most of my life in hosptials , ive learned from others not too feel bad about ur self , but live every day as ur last day , i also had a brother who had cp , i never treater him different ,
but others did when they would say or star at him i would say to them he is my brother an God made him this way to show us that u cant juge a person by there out side its whats in side that counts . So dont hate God 4 makeing u different , every man an woman ,boy or girl are all different no one is the same , even twins r different ,
the people who created this video obviously do believe in God. They are thankful that they have a baby. I was also born with a bilateral cleft palette and lip and I believe in God too. You dont need to believe in Him, but you should respect others beliefs and you shouldnt insult what they believe in because it is important to them.
hi..anybody can answer my question? i have cleft lip..since birth..i can speak clearly..and i'm finish for the operation when i was in 5 yrs. old but i'm not satisfied because some of people are trying to insult me..because its obvious..so thats why i feel ashame..my question is there's a chance to having a normal lip like others? is there's a operation for that? i'm 17 yrs. old..thats all! thanks! the baby is so cute! there cleft lip is not obvious..wOw! i hOpe me too..
you can so have a revisoon, im not sure where your from but do some research you can have it redone and im saying from experience it can look great...
My son was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate in 1978 he had many operations but the longest and hardest part was getting his teeth right, very costly but well worth it we had a dentist oral surgeon and specialist orthodontist on hand he has turned out to be a very good looking young man with a wonderfull smile and best of he is a very compasionate caring and sweet person what more can a mother ask, look at the eyes of these babies god makes it up in other ways dosent he .
its great to see so many people talking and taking the time to talk about cleft lips/palate. i myself am 26 years old and have a bilateral cleft lip and palate. most of you have been fortunate, i have had 52 surgeries in my lifetime i was 3 months when i had my first. my mom had a unilater cleft lip/palate. i currently have a 5 week old son who has a bilateral cleft lip/palate. im waiting for him to see the dr,then go for surgery.goodluck wo everyone
my son Abel Ken Her was born with a cleft lip. He's is now 1month, and is waiting for his surgury to be done. I am very scare and worry for him. Other than that he is a healthy and normal baby. I just pray that it will not effect his speaking and hope that he won't have such a bad scar.
hi my son has bilateral cleft lip also, who is your surgeon i am searching and it is so hard to find the right one that use the right technique.. please let me know ifyou know someone good fron pensilvania that where i live i have 2 dr but i have more opinions.... good luck with your baby everything is going to be all right with ours sons they are strong and they are litler angel they are her for a reason
I was born with a cleft lip & I'm 23 now. Mine wasn't as bad as most everyone else's. I'm pretty much done with surgeries. I've had around 8 or 9 of them during my lifetime. My last one I had about two years ago. I was 7 Months old when I had my first surgery.
I was born with cleft lip and palate 17 years ago. When I found out I was pregnant, my doctors insinuated that it would be terrible if my daughter was born with the same defect, but I think she'd be beautiful either way. She doesn't have it, but I wouldn't reject her if she did. I had my final revision when I was 14 years old and strangers can no longer tell anything was different.
i nearly cried when i saw this , i watched the film 'smile pinki' and it got me thinking about all the children born with this. But he's beautiful, before and after. Its nice to see a happy family. Gives me a bit of faith in humanity.
Thanks for sharing. My son was born with cleft lip and palate and will be having is 1st surgery when he is 3 months old. Ur baby is beautiful. I cant wait to see what my baby will look like after.
I am glad this video gives you hope, that is our purpose. I am Darkito's mom. After surgery you may actually miss his big smile! But it is all worth it. He will probably look his best after 3 months of surgery. Read John 9 when you have a chance, it gave me a lot of strength in my weekest moments, and now I can testify on how the Lord has used my son for his glory. God Bless You!
my daughter was born with a cleft lip.I remember the tape on her face, like your baby. She had a tooth when she was born, so it made it difficult with the appliance. I remember the stares we used to get that were so cruel. 18 years later, my daughter is gorgeous.
Thanks! I bet you are as adorable as our baby and a blessing to your family! I am glad you have such a wonderful actitud, it is great for us to see this type of comments. It gives us assurance that our son will become the great person God wants him to be.
Aww, he is absolutly gorgeous! Wotta cute smile :D Ive got a daughter who was born with a cleft palate, shes not long had it operated on, but gotta go back for a 2nd operation. Im so glad its all worked out for you. He is a credit to you both :)
what a gorgeous little boy..!!im 21 and was born with a cleft lip..ive had many surgeries with the best surgeons and will be having my final one in May. God bless him
Thank you the non existant lord for making a cute baby,but you thank him after the cleft lip.I really hope you guys fix it caus a kid got teased horribly because of un treated cleft.
Really? Me too. But i still have more surgery to go because it shows and i have a lopsided nose. Its good to know that someone out there has been in the situation.
You have a very beautiful boy. My daughter was born with a cleft lip 17 years ago and had surgery at 3 1/2 months. It is a miracle what doctors can do. I have a video of her at a radio station here on YouTube. She is daddy's little girl. Do a search on Daniella's Debut.
i give much respect to the babys parents they must b very strong especialy the mother respect just another exsample of how strong a woman can be peace b with you all
Yo we dont know but anywayz dont u feel kinda sorry 4 all the kids who do have this and it always makes me almost cry cuz i have a baby bro and he is getting his surgery on Oct 16 and i keep praying to god every time to make ita success!
I hope your brother´s surgery was a success. Sometimes we have to endure difficult things in life to become the person we are. Your brother is a little fighther and a blessing from God. I am sure he will do great things, and be a tresure to your family. Trust the Lord, as he will be by yor side during this while process. Your brother is lucky to have you, and it is ok to cry because it is hard at the begining but after the surgery it will be like dream, and a good story to tell. God Bless You
Your little boy looks perfect and he is great to see. My little boy is nearly 2yrs and is going to have his bilateral cleft palate repaired soon in GOS by Mr Sommerlad. It has taken a long time to get to this point due to his many other health problems but, he to is a little fighter. It is great to see the surgeons fantastic results as (as you know) it is a scary time.
With God by your side, and Dr. Sommerlad performing the surgery, your son's operation will be a complete success. I'm glad this video gives you hope, that is our purpose, because we all know how difficult it is to go thru all this process, but at the end, what matters most is that you have your beautiful angel with you. God Bless you!
May God Bless you and may you find peace and happiness. Just by the language you use, one can tell how much love you lack in your life. I hope you find Jesus, so you can have a better life.
My second born son was born with a complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. He is 5 now and has had 3 surgeries so far. This video made me cry. It made me feel so much pride in my beautiful son and out of the three sons I have, he is the most resilient loving full of life human being I have ever met. Though I love all three, I still call him since the day he was born, "My Little Hero".
i have a 9 yr old who was born with a cleft lip and palate and a 10 month old who was born with a cleft lip his isnt bad at all he should only have to have 1 surgery but my 9 yr old has had 5 surgeries 2 of them were on his throat to repair his speech he has a great surgeon no one can even tell he was born with a cleft lip.for every one born with a cleft lip god made everyone the same but you he made special because he made you different. god bless you all

Beautifu! i was born with a unilateral cleft lip & palate. I have had a total of 11surgeries, 8 between my face an ears and the rest on my heart. A wonderful team at UCLA has done all of my surgeries. i am so grateful for what i have! I love seeing people with cleft lip/pallate and talking to them about it although i do stumble across those parents occasionally that want to treat their baby different because of their birth defect, drives me crazy! im happy to see you feel blessed! good luck! :)
I was born with a cleft lip also. I have only had 1 surgery, and I was only about a month old when it happened so i cannot even remember. Really I live a average life!! I am on the varsity cheer squad, and am in gymnastics and soccer. I have MANY friends. And no one teases me about it AT ALL! The only thing is, is that people will ask my why my lip is like that, but it doesnt bother me. I have not met anyone with a cleft lip, however i would love to! Just so i can hear their storys!
I'm proud to be special!!! I was born with a cleft lip and palate, I know the joys and the pitfalls. I've had 11 facial operations, an ear operation, and two hernial repairs, so i know the joys of surgery.
Thank God for the Blessing of the doctors that do this work.
As a cleft l/p child, I have come to realize that looks aren't everything, and it's the personality that counts.
Don't ever let anyone tell you you're ugly, cause you very made special for a reason.
He's so cute! I was born with cleft lip and palate. I had over 30 operations on my lip, palate and ears. I wish that my mom would have taken more pictures and a better record of everything that I've gone thru. One of my doctors once said that people with cleft lip and palate were the most kind hearted people he had ever meant. That stuck with me thru the years. I see now that my cleft was a blessing not a curse. It made me who I am today. May GOD bless you and your family. Teresa
my son was born with a cleft lip&cleft palate. today he is 11 years old and heas undergone more than 7 operations. he is fine now. thank GOD !!! If he has given us this problem but at the same time he has also given us the solution in the form of experienced doctors. I can only suggest to be patient and the results will be wonderful. When you see your child grow up you forget all the past pain. Keep up the GOOD WORK.....
Hey man, I was born with one as well. I know the pain, but when you realize that u are special, it makes all the difference in the world. Don't be too upset with how things appear, it's your personality that counts.
I´m Darko´s mother. Sometimes we have to endure difficult times to realize who we are and do great things. I know is hard to understand why certain things happen to us, but I am sure you are a blessing to your family and everyone around you, and if you have had to endure all this, God will reward you 10x more. We started a foundation, and now 7 children here are having surgery. This would not have happened otherwise. God works in misterious ways for us to do His work. God bless you!
It depends. If it is just lip, sometimes you can. In Dakito´s case, because it was bi-palate, I used an electric breast milk pump/expressing machine brand Avent, and I did that for 5 months! He loved it, and it was a great opportunity to bond, so I recommed it.
yeah but if you think about it. we will have more empathy that any1 cud know. ive learned from experience it makes us better mare decent and stronger people. if i hadnt been born with a cleft lip and palate, god knows what kinda person id be
Mi esposo y yo esperamos nuestro primer bebe, tengo 5 meses y en la ultima ecografia le diagnosticaron labio hendido a nuestro bebe. Fue una noticia muy dura de asumir pero estamos tratando de manejarlo lo mejor posible, pues el necesita de nuestra fortaleza. Gracias por compartir su experiencia es una luz de esperanza en estos momentos para nosotros. Dios los bendiga.
Dios los Bendice, mi hijo nacio con labio y paladar hendido bilateral despues de 2 años 7 meses estamos mas tranquilos, ANIMO el AMOR que se tienen los fortalecerá siempre..Bebe supiste elegir a tus padres... saludos.
Cute kid and wonderful parents. My wife is pregnant and the baby was diagnosed with cleft lip.God bless you and I wish all the best of luck for you and your family.
Absolutley amazing!! My daughter was born with complete bilateral cleft lip on 05/28/07... she had her surgery in September 07... God has really blessed us with these little angels!! Praise Jesus for the talent he has given to the surgeons!!
Darko is so beautiful - and I cannot tell you guys how inspiring your video is - truly amazing and yes, a blessing from God. Our son had a unilateral cleft lip and we too stayed strong - your comment on "love kept us together" is so true. Dont ever drift apart - you are a beautiful couple with such a wonderful family. Truly blessed.....
I am Darkito´s Mother. Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your experience with us. May God bless your son, and I´m sure he´s a wonderful hamson boy like mine. We need to update the video, because he looks much better now. I know thank the Lord or what happened because my son has already touched so many lives. Thank you very much, because we needed all the support we could get !
You are WONDERFUL parents - and believe me your child IS a blessing from GOD. You are absolutely right with your comments to emrod, many people are pessimistic and only think of the bad things in their life and want to blame anyone they can. We are all blessed to have our children and experience LOVE in our lives. Darkito is beautiful - my wife and I cried at your movie over and over again - you are great people and I wish you many blessings!
What a beautiful baby....before and after his surgery!
Praise God!
My grandson went today to have a plate fitted for his cleft lip/palate. He is 8 weeks old. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. It gives us hope! God bless, Paula.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My son had a unilateral cleft when he was born and had it mended in Bristol, England by a surgeon. I am not sure how you think god mended your baby's lip...?
Perhaps emrod if you were to see the larger picture - God gives us life, hope and the ability to care for others. Obviously the surgeon is an extension of that. I will pray for you emrod that you see his love in your future, and accept him into your heart.
i touched myself while watching this...

I remember I saw it on Tv. A young man of about 20 he had a cleft lip and difficulties in speaking. A plastic surgeon performed his operation.
He had surgery at 20 and afterwards his appearance was normal only he still had difficulties talking, but that was going to be solved.
So I guess that at 17 you can have an operation as well.

My son was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate in 1978 he had many operations but the longest and hardest part was getting his teeth right, very costly but well worth it we had a dentist oral surgeon and specialist orthodontist on hand he has turned out to be a very good looking young man with a wonderfull smile and best of he is a very compasionate caring and sweet person what more can a mother ask, look at the eyes of these babies god makes it up in other ways dosent he .

my son Abel Ken Her was born with a cleft lip. He's is now 1month, and is waiting for his surgury to be done. I am very scare and worry for him. Other than that he is a healthy and normal baby. I just pray that it will not effect his speaking and hope that he won't have such a bad scar.

I was born with a cleft lip & I'm 23 now. Mine wasn't as bad as most everyone else's. I'm pretty much done with surgeries. I've had around 8 or 9 of them during my lifetime. My last one I had about two years ago. I was 7 Months old when I had my first surgery.

I was born with cleft lip and palate 17 years ago. When I found out I was pregnant, my doctors insinuated that it would be terrible if my daughter was born with the same defect, but I think she'd be beautiful either way. She doesn't have it, but I wouldn't reject her if she did. I had my final revision when I was 14 years old and strangers can no longer tell anything was different.
Good luck with your son!

I am glad this video gives you hope, that is our purpose. I am Darkito's mom. After surgery you may actually miss his big smile! But it is all worth it. He will probably look his best after 3 months of surgery. Read John 9 when you have a chance, it gave me a lot of strength in my weekest moments, and now I can testify on how the Lord has used my son for his glory. God Bless You!

my daughter was born with a cleft lip.I remember the tape on her face, like your baby. She had a tooth when she was born, so it made it difficult with the appliance. I remember the stares we used to get that were so cruel. 18 years later, my daughter is gorgeous.
Your baby is beautiful :)

I hope your brother´s surgery was a success. Sometimes we have to endure difficult things in life to become the person we are. Your brother is a little fighther and a blessing from God. I am sure he will do great things, and be a tresure to your family. Trust the Lord, as he will be by yor side during this while process. Your brother is lucky to have you, and it is ok to cry because it is hard at the begining but after the surgery it will be like dream, and a good story to tell. God Bless You

Your little boy looks perfect and he is great to see. My little boy is nearly 2yrs and is going to have his bilateral cleft palate repaired soon in GOS by Mr Sommerlad. It has taken a long time to get to this point due to his many other health problems but, he to is a little fighter. It is great to see the surgeons fantastic results as (as you know) it is a scary time.
Many thanks

With God by your side, and Dr. Sommerlad performing the surgery, your son's operation will be a complete success. I'm glad this video gives you hope, that is our purpose, because we all know how difficult it is to go thru all this process, but at the end, what matters most is that you have your beautiful angel with you. God Bless you!

My second born son was born with a complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. He is 5 now and has had 3 surgeries so far. This video made me cry. It made me feel so much pride in my beautiful son and out of the three sons I have, he is the most resilient loving full of life human being I have ever met. Though I love all three, I still call him since the day he was born, "My Little Hero".

Beautifu! i was born with a unilateral cleft lip & palate. I have had a total of 11surgeries, 8 between my face an ears and the rest on my heart. A wonderful team at UCLA has done all of my surgeries. i am so grateful for what i have! I love seeing people with cleft lip/pallate and talking to them about it although i do stumble across those parents occasionally that want to treat their baby different because of their birth defect, drives me crazy! im happy to see you feel blessed! good luck! :)

I was born with a cleft lip also. I have only had 1 surgery, and I was only about a month old when it happened so i cannot even remember. Really I live a average life!! I am on the varsity cheer squad, and am in gymnastics and soccer. I have MANY friends. And no one teases me about it AT ALL! The only thing is, is that people will ask my why my lip is like that, but it doesnt bother me. I have not met anyone with a cleft lip, however i would love to! Just so i can hear their storys!

I'm proud to be special!!! I was born with a cleft lip and palate, I know the joys and the pitfalls. I've had 11 facial operations, an ear operation, and two hernial repairs, so i know the joys of surgery.
Thank God for the Blessing of the doctors that do this work.
As a cleft l/p child, I have come to realize that looks aren't everything, and it's the personality that counts.
Don't ever let anyone tell you you're ugly, cause you very made special for a reason.
God Bless,
Mike

He's so cute! I was born with cleft lip and palate. I had over 30 operations on my lip, palate and ears. I wish that my mom would have taken more pictures and a better record of everything that I've gone thru. One of my doctors once said that people with cleft lip and palate were the most kind hearted people he had ever meant. That stuck with me thru the years. I see now that my cleft was a blessing not a curse. It made me who I am today. May GOD bless you and your family. Teresa

my son was born with a cleft lip&cleft palate. today he is 11 years old and heas undergone more than 7 operations. he is fine now. thank GOD !!! If he has given us this problem but at the same time he has also given us the solution in the form of experienced doctors. I can only suggest to be patient and the results will be wonderful. When you see your child grow up you forget all the past pain. Keep up the GOOD WORK.....

I´m Darko´s mother. Sometimes we have to endure difficult times to realize who we are and do great things. I know is hard to understand why certain things happen to us, but I am sure you are a blessing to your family and everyone around you, and if you have had to endure all this, God will reward you 10x more. We started a foundation, and now 7 children here are having surgery. This would not have happened otherwise. God works in misterious ways for us to do His work. God bless you!

Can you breastfeed if your baby has cleft lip?
pixie1310 3 years ago
It depends. If it is just lip, sometimes you can. In Dakito´s case, because it was bi-palate, I used an electric breast milk pump/expressing machine brand Avent, and I did that for 5 months! He loved it, and it was a great opportunity to bond, so I recommed it.

You are WONDERFUL parents - and believe me your child IS a blessing from GOD. You are absolutely right with your comments to emrod, many people are pessimistic and only think of the bad things in their life and want to blame anyone they can. We are all blessed to have our children and experience LOVE in our lives. Darkito is beautiful - my wife and I cried at your movie over and over again - you are great people and I wish you many blessings!

Perhaps emrod if you were to see the larger picture - God gives us life, hope and the ability to care for others. Obviously the surgeon is an extension of that. I will pray for you emrod that you see his love in your future, and accept him into your heart.
