Really? My son has a cleft lip and palate. We visit our children's hospital once a week for speech therapy. I can tell you that there are many other birth defects far more heartbreaking, those having to do with the heart or digestion, those that are life threatening and or non-correctable... I do understand that many children in this world don't have access to the care they need for this condition. That is why Smile Train is such a great organization. But can we cut the melodrama? It does not serve those born with CLCP or their parents well. Great news about a new surgery though. Looks promising. One of the most heartbreaking congenital birth defects? Really?
