“A facial birth defect doesn’t get in the way of achievement. Parents need to instill a positive sense of self-esteem in their children so they can pursue their dreams.”

“[The CPF website] was, and still is, such an encourgement to me…I know the stories gave me such a drive to get through the unknowns…your site is such a blessing to my life…”

                     —Christine & Eric

“The materials you sent were wonderful, thank you so very much! I started reading and did not put the articles down until I had read everything you had sent me. As I read, I could identify many of the situations and feelings listed in the articles. Please disseminate this material to as many people as you can reach.”
