  • I found out my little brother is going to have a cleft palate. My other brother & i had went with my dad and step mom to the doctors' that day.... I held my step mom the whole ride home. she was sooo upset but videos like this& operation smile has helped re-assure her. Thank you(:

  • One day,a Cleft baby,with its face all Clefted out,next day,a baby with its face sewn back on straight,and can hopefully recover,and have a good life.Good Job,and Good Luck,Little Cleftster!!!

  • Thank you SO much for posting this. I just found out 4 days ago through my 3d ultrasound and anatomy scan that my baby (17 weeks old), will have a bilateral cleft lip. I was shocked, sad, angry, you name it and i've been through the emotions. This doesn't run in either family and we were just clueless about how it could have happened. After watching videos and doing research, i've found a wonderful peace and positive attitude. I'm so excited to meet my baby!!

  • bless them i have a cleft pallet to
