I see this condition quite often around here and I’ve always wondered what it was called and what its medical evidence-based prognosis was. I'm not sure I've met someone with a repaired cleft before, but I'm sure I wouldn't know if I did because it'd look pretty normal, right?
Also, I knew there was some sort of stigma against children born with these birth defects, but I never imagined the stigma had spiritual mythology as its basis. I am especially shocked by the extent that some parents as you’ve described, go to (cancelling) these children. Around here, Down Dyndrome is what I know had a history of being treated with this similar sentiment.
This is a very insightful post. Maybe in subsequent posts you can include some reference links to some articles for further reading that could help us understand and corroborate some of the facts you’ve shared? Btw, I didn’t know you worked in the health sector – that’s awesome. Keep doing the amazing work you do, and God Bless You :)
Thank you....
Yes you wouldnt know someone with a repaired cleft because it will look so normal except you pay keen attention and you will notice a scar but i believe as the child grows to am adult the scar must have cleared.
The ill treatment metted on those innocent children were real over here and since i did'nt have the knowledge i have now i believed and we will never even go close to a baby of such.
Next time i will share links for further reading but you can surb the internet to read more about cleft lip and palate. And yes i work in the Health sector as a medical Laboratory Technologist.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
