Thanks Ann. I know someone whose baby was born around the same time as my son and he was born with cleft lip (not palate). It was hard for her at first but she has overcome obstacles, her son now has a beautifully repaired smile and she is always willing to help moms face the challenge of having a child with cleft lip.
Although there are many risks, unfortunately sometimes it just happens even to moms who have done everything possibly right with no complications during pregnancy. What is important to keep in mind is that although cleft lip/palate are a challenge they are repairable and our children can and will lead normal, healthy lives.
