Costin's Journey

We are here to share our story of Our Baby Costin. He was born with a complete left Unilateral Cleft lip and palate. There are many different serveries of this condition. 1 in 700 Children born world wide are affected by this birth defect. This condition is more common than one may think.

To other mothers going through this Journey with their child please feel to interact with us as we can learn more from each other about what to expect, normal/abnormal side effects etc. Costin is lucky to have the support system of many surgeons, specialists, and a loving family as we go through this journey, however many Children in the world are not as luck as us.
