Fostering cleft lip babies?

Question

I have heard about an organization involving fostering and caring for a child from a different country that needs surgery in the United States, and you care for them until they have the surgery and are healthy. (such as cleft lip) Does anyone know some names of organizations that does this?

Answer 1

Go to www.cleftadvocate.org and join the listserv. I believe there are a couple of families who have sponsored kids to come here.  Also, give your local children's hospital a call. They will certainly know if there is a group in your area for you to contact.

Good luck!  What an awesome experience.
