Thank you for being here. This group was created from a place of love and understanding—our child was born with a cleft lip, and like many of you, we were immediately faced with a flood of questions, emotions, and unknowns.
Cleft lip and palate are among the most common birth differences in the U.S., affecting approximately 1 in 700 babies. While each journey is unique, no family should have to navigate it alone.
My goal in starting this group is to offer more than just a space to talk—I want to help local families find real support, practical resources, and most importantly, connection. Whether you’re just beginning this journey or have years of experience, your voice matters.
Here, you’ll find:
• Educational information to better understand cleft conditions and treatment options
• Access to local and national resources
• Emotional support from fellow parents who truly get it
• Opportunities to connect through family-friendly group outings and events
This is a safe and uplifting space. Whether you’re here to ask questions, offer advice, or simply read and reflect, you are welcome and supported.
We’re stronger together—and I’m so glad you’re here. 💙
