Each year in the U.S., thousands of babies are born with a cleft, occurring when tissue in the baby’s upper lip or roof of the mouth does not join together completely during pregnancy. July has been proclaimed Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month in the town of Chapel Hill and the state of North Carolina, and the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) is raising awareness about the condition – and the countless individuals living with a facial difference nationwide – by hosting several special events throughout the month.
