The birth of a
child is undoubtedly one of the most joyous experiences
in a parent's life. But when the little one is
disfigured, that joy is engulfed by sadness, guilt
and fear. Parents need to know that while they
may not have been able to prevent their child's
disfigurement, they can do something to correct
it. The Little Baby Face Foundation can be a most
valuable resource for learning all there is to
know about a child's condition and obtaining the
best available medical, educational, emotional
and financial assistanceLBFF provides financial
assistance to families with children who are afflicted
with congenital birth defects including microtia,
atrisia, cleft lip/palate and facial paralysis,
so that they have access to available procedures
and treatments. More information can be found
