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.
