It's so good to know that people/organizations like this exist. She will now be given a bright future she would have not otherwise had. I don't think most people realize how extensive the problem of cleft lip/cleft palates are outside the U.S. and how hard it is for those children to get the proper medical treatment they deserve. I've been looking into giving cleft palate donations to children who can't afford such procedures and after reading your post, I think it's finally time to make a contribution!

I am a new reader, but I wanted to take a moment to write. Our daughter was not born with a cleft lip/palate, but she WAS born with feeding issues. After trying many different techniques, therapy, etc.. we ultimately switching to a special-needs 'Haberman' bottle and it worked WONDERS! This bottle is actually manufactured for babies with a cleft lip/palate, but can be used to treat other feeding difficulties, as well. I am certain that you must use a similar bottle at this special home, but if not - I would be more than happy to send ours over to you, as we no longer need them. Feel free to contact me! What a sweet, sweet girl.
