After our youngest son Ben was diagnosed with a unilateral cleft lip and palate at our 20 week scan we found ourselves on an unexpected journey.
Ben was born on the 23 January 2012 now one year, two operations, many highs and a few lows down the line we would really like to get a local support group established for parents to share experiences and to allow chidren to mix with others going through a similar experience.
So if you are a parent affected by a cleft lip and/or palate - including those expecting a cleft baby, babies pre and post op and parents of older children who will have further experience to share please get in touch!
Ian, Rachel, Luke & Ben
