[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1344707, member: 355878"] I knew a couple who's son had been born with a hare lip, but he'd been operated on soon after birth and several more times as he grew, and he had a normal voice and teeth, there was a scar on his lip, but it could have been from a childhood fall, it was just a white line. His mother's sister had married his father's brother, after meeting at the wedding, they went to live in America and they also had a son with a hare lip - but obviously did not have the money or insurance to have it treated until he was older - his voice was very nasal, his upper jaw was divided and there was a very obvious deformity of his upper lip. The two young men were very alike, so it was quite a shock to see how poor the outcome was for one of them. The UK mum said afterwards that her sister was always going on about their house, cars and holidays, but she'd only got to look at her boy to know that she was far better off. [/QUOTE]
