I was born with a cleft in 195l, and I have always been disappointed that no book or "movie of<br>the week" has ever been devoted to our "cause." And<br>yet it...
I have considered writing a book about it but am not sure where to start. Maybe if we put our heads together we could give it a try. I would certainly be ...
Well, my connection bit the dust on me again, but I just wanted to thank those of you who were in the chat room on Friday for a nice chat.<br><br>As for ...
Its ironic you asked this question as I have nearly completed a personal account on what its like to be born and live with a cleft lip and palate, and you're...
I wanted to write about what it was like growing<br>up with a cleft palate, and I wanted to get stories from others who had been born with this birth defect. I...
Hello, John, Welcom to our club! You will find<br>that the members here are a really nice group<br>of people. I read that you wanted to help others<br>learn ...

I'm with teenzy. I can only give my side as a mother of a cleft lip baby. And I would love to do so, because I want to help all of those new moms who feel lost...
I think it would be great to hear from you Lynn and Teezy about giving birth and not knowing about clefts. What you could do is set up a little webpage and ...
Last night we had a chat but for some reason the club's Home said no one was in chat. Believe me there were a few of us (four including me), though not as many...
I'm the mother of a cleft also so I dont think I could help either. but we had never heard of cleftl ip/palate until shania was born. And it was a shock to me ...
Feel free to ask away any questions you may have. I'm thirty nine and have been through 20+ operations, including oral surgery to correct the cleft condition....
To Alyshnya: Sweetie, your husband may be a dear,<br>wonderful man who is just so understandably <br>in love with your child he cannot imagine any one<br>ever ...
I have been reading a lot about signing with you baby and how it helps them communicate before they can verbalize. After reading Debbie's post I was wondering...
who knows what my husband thinks but I do know he loves her and wants the best for her. I know how cruel children can be as I'm sure he does also. I'm learning...
I can remember at age two actually hitting my head<br>against the wall trying to get a message to my aunt. People forget how important language is to<br>us,...
Hi all its me again. I was just wondering about the speech also. Melissa-Lynn is now 11 mnth today and had her palate fixed 2 weeks ago. When should she start...
Hello everyone. I've been very busy,(they doubled my work so I have to actually work now). <br>Hunter jibber and jabbers all the time. He sings with the choir ...
Hi, Hunter sounds to me as if he is right on schedule, and if he has that Texas drawl already,<br>so much the better! Give him a kiss from me.<br>Sounds like...
I will be sure and pass on that kiss. My hands aren't that full. ( I can't catch him) He figured out last night how to open the cookie jar, so Hunter and our...
Hi, I wouldn't worry too much about an ll month old not talking yet, especially a baby who has been through what Melissa Lynn has. My three children all ...

Hi, sweetie. I'm not at all worried about the number of words little Shania is speaking (and tell your husband those "d's" can be murder to make; I know they ...
Just added two photos of me to the album...and I wanted to compliment everybody else who's done so. All the kids are adorable, and all the adults look ...
I just got shania's medical card and will be calling speech tomorrow so i can get her started again. thanks to that one woman again who emailed me to tell me ...
