tell your sister that her baby is still gonna be just as beautiful. my baby had a cleft lip and all i could do was keep crying about it i finally just came to terms with it.

That's so sad, but I agree with Chase.. The baby will still be just as beautiful!

It's possible that your sister's baby will be able to have an operation to correct, or at least improve, his/her feet when older but if not then s/he will still be beautiful and not 'gross'.

None of us are perfect, it's just that for some of us our 'imperfections' are more visible.

oh for sure...its like what elementary child would say not an adult...bet if her child had that deformity she would not say that! either way to say it about any child or person for that matter is pretty immature.

ok i agree.

your sister's babyis going to be just fine, even witha cleft foot. I am sure that there maybe something that they could do for the baby. good luck and keep us informed.
