elizabeth@aluluei.com Write to Elizabeth and Boyd, CA
Nick lives in Los Angeles with mom Elizabeth, dad Boyd, and big brother Alexander. Born five weeks early, he will have his first surgery at four months old rather than the usual three. Nick is the sweetest little baby--so small and cuddly. He cries only when Alex loves him a little too enthusiastically.

We learned of Noah's bilateral cleft lip and palate through ultrasound at 36 weeks. He was born in Las Vegas by c-section, a whopping 8 pounds, 10 ounces and 21 inches long! He has taken to the Pigeon feeder very well since we changed from the Mead Johnson and started using a soy-based formula. We are relocating to Arizona as soon as he is released from the hospital.

Nicholas is being treated in Chicago with the NAM by Dr. Figueroa and Dr. Polley with wonderful results. We are now the third couple from Cincinnati to seek treatment from them this past year. It is amazing the shape that the NAM has given to his nose as well as narrowing his cleft. We anticipate surgery within the next month. If you live in the Cincinnati area please contact us.

Natalie, DOB 8/31/97, UCLP
natsmom@sbcyahoo.com Write to Sandi, IN
We had our only ultrasound four days before Natalie was born just so God could give us some notice about her cleft. The doctor told us there was a "small chance" but he really couldn't get a good look; we didn't research it, but had the possibility in our mind. Natalie had three surgeries to repair her lip and palate in her first year. She is now in 1st grade, is an awesome student, and we are so proud of our beautiful girl!!

Naya, DOB 08/05/05, BCLP and Branchio-Oculo-Facial Syndrome
my_melody_seattle@yahoo.com Write to Melody, WA
Naya's cleft was found during my 19-week ultrasound. Shortly after birth, she was diagnosed with Branchio-oculo-facial Syndrome. Naya is blind due to the absence of her right eye and the underdevelopment of her left eye. Her eyes are naturally fused shut so she just looks like she's always sleeping. She is such a blessing and our family is so much in love with her! Her first surgery is scheduled for 12/29/05.

Nina Marie underwent her first surgery when she was eight months old (through Mariquita Salimbangon-Yeung Foundation & Operation Smile and her second surgery (Rotary Club Cebu & Operation Restore Hope) was when she was two. Her speech is not bad but there's still a small hole inside her nose. She's very smart, talks like she's old enough, loves to sing and dance, has sense of humor (like me!), and of course, she's my beautiful angel.
