Cleft lip and palate patient stories
Our Cleft Lip and Palate booklet
Sometimes children or their parents can feel low about having a cleft lip or palate but we see that most of the time, they forget about having a cleft. Despite the stresses of treatment, these children and their families are funny, beautiful, talented and caring.
Every child and family have a different experience. That's why we developed a booklet that gives some insight into the journeys, fears, thoughts and positive achievements of children and families who are coping with cleft lip or palate. We hope parents who have recently heard that their child has a cleft lip and/or palate will draw strength from these stories. If you are one of our patients or have a cleft lip and/or palate it's important to know that you are not alone.
