Sam is our first child. He is such a happy little guy! Nothing gets Sam down. We first found out about the clefts during ultrasound. Sam had his lip and nose repaired in May, 2003, when he was three months old. Now we can't imagine him any different!!

Stephen, DOB 08/23/65, SMCP, Unrepaired, Marshall Syndrome
Stephen, dad to Aaron and Ashlyn, was born with submucous cleft, but no one knew about it until he was 6 years old. A speech teacher attended a conference and told his mother to give Dr. Salyer a call because all she heard him say sounded exactly like Stephen. While they have been unable to close his palate, they did correct the mid-facial exclusion that is a part of Marshall Syndrome.

tinacious9@comcast.net Write to Kristina, CO
Seth is my God-send and my knight in shining armor. Along with the clefts, he was born with Klippel Feil Syndrome. He's had over 28 surgical procedures in his short life and has been as brave as possible for all of them, especially with how quickly he tries to bounce back afterwards. He loves soccer and playing his guitar and all things Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

Scotty, DOB 04/28/03, UCLP
Scott Mikael was born with unilateral celft lip and palate. His cleft was a suprise to us, but not a shock as clefts run on both sides of the family. He has two older sisters, Gabrielle Rose & Cierah Rayne, both of whom were born without any signs of a cleft. He's had two surgeries and we're planning two more in the future. He's Momma's boy and loves his big sisters very much. Such a blessing for our last baby.

We were told about Stone's cleft during our 31-week ultrasound . His lip was repaired at two days old; palate repair was at six months. Stone's surgeon is Dr. Frank Stieg, one of the only surgeons in the US that does lip repair at two days old. I am very happy with the results and so happy to have such a strong and wonderful baby boy. Stone is very loved by his family. I welcome anybody to ask me any questions.

Stella's cleft was detected in an ultasound when I was 19 weeks pregnant. We were so grateful for websites like this to learn more about what to expect when she was born. She had her lip and nose repaired in May and will have her palate closed in February. We are so happy with our team at UNC Children's Hospital. Stella is always happy and smiling. She loves chasing her two big sisters around the house!

Sofia is the second of our two beautiful daughters, our grinner. She recently underwent lip repair surgery at Stanford Children's Hospital and will undergo palate repair in the fall. She's been handling everything like a pro, but hates her "no-no's". Sofia loves to play with anything "noisy", coos loudly along with music, and giggles intensely when provoked by her 2 year old sister. Sofia's wide smiles are contagious!
