The Reconstructive Surgery Act will have to be re-introduced for the new session of Congress...but you can still sign the petition in support of patients and families! We'll let you know what the new bill number is when we have it...
SIGN THE PETITION NOW !!!!
I am a mother of six, and the founder of cleftAdvocate . I am also the Executive Director of AmeriFace , formerly known as AboutFace USA. We'd love to meet you at the 2009 North American Craniofacial Family Conference (NACFC) in Las Vegas ! There will be information and support for those with clefts and other facial differences, and workshops designed especially for parents, kids, teens and adults with facial differences and their families. There will even be free child care! Watch our website for more details. In the meantime, introduce yourself at cleftAdvocate's Family-to-Family Connection .
Additionally, we are continuing to build our national teen and adult outreach programs, which involves networking and mentoring, and social opportunities, as well. If you're interested, let us know by completing a networking form .
For parents of children born with clefts or other craniofacial conditions, if you are interested in teaming up with one or more of our Pathfinder Outreach Network families, if you have questions about feeding or upcoming surgeries, send an e-mail to [email protected] . We'll be sure to get you the information you need and match you up with a family or families who have already been down the road you're travelling.
Same goes for teens and adults...if you'd like to make yourself available to others to share your experiences...anyone interested in helping others... complete this short form.
Great to be here!
