As a mother of a child who was born with a cleft lip and palate, I wanted to create this site as a starting point for other parents to locate information. I also know that the amount of information out there can be overwhelming, and there are a lot of things that the doctors and specialists forget to mention to you. Often, it is helpful to talk to other people who have gone through a situation similar to yours. I wanted other parents to have a place where they could ask questions or offer suggestions to other parents who also had a child with a cleft lip and/or palate.
