Web: http://www.widesmiles.org/Wide Smiles provides information, inspiration, and support for persons affected by cleft lip and/or cleft palate. They have pamphlets for new parents "How different is Anthony", and "Anthony Visits his Cleft Palate Team", and are planning a parent-to-parent matching program in the near future.
WIDE SMILES was formed to ensure that parents of cleft-affected children do not have to feel alone. We offer support, inspiration, information and networking for families everywhere who may be dealing with the challenges associated with clefting.
At WIDE SMILES we believe that, while it may not have been wonderful that our children were born with cleft, it is nonetheless true that our children who were born with cleft are wonderful. Together we share the struggle, the pain, the joy and the triumph of watching our children grow. Their challenges may be many, but we can face them together, learn from each other and help our children to recognize their beauty within.
