To the moms who became warriors the moment they learned their babies were cleft lip/palate affected ...
Who’ve cradled their babies post-surgery, mastered syringes and bottles, and navigated feeding struggles with quiet courage.

To the ones who’ve grieved breastfeeding but never wavered in nurturing love.
And to the grandmothers holding their daughters through diagnosis, surgery days, and all the “new normals” — your steady presence means everything.

This Mother’s Day, we see you. We honor your strength, your tears, your triumphs.
From all of us at Our Forever Smiles, thank you for showing us what unconditional love looks like. 💕 Send this to a !

In this deeply moving episode of Our Forever Smiles, Laura sits down with Erin—a devoted mom, wife, student, and future history teacher—as she shares the moment she learned her son Oliver had a bilateral cleft lip…and the immediate pressure she faced to terminate her pregnancy.

What followed was a decision rooted in courage, not fear. Erin opens up about navigating California's legal landscape, finding strength through online communities, and choosing advocacy from day one.

🎧 Tune in for a story of resilience, faith, and a mother’s unwavering commitment to her child’s life—no matter the obstacles.

Last summer at Houston, we had an eye-opening experience, participating in the Navigating Cleft Care workshop with Jocelyn Huiton of Texas Children's Hospital! 🧑‍🏫

She gave us vital insights on how to take action if we receive an insurance denial letter for our child’s cleft treatment. It’s so important to remember that you have the right to appeal! Together, we can make sure our little ones get the care they truly deserve. 💪🏼
