Congratulations!!!
My daughter Katie was born with a cleft lip and palate. She is adopted from Korea and is now 12 years old.
I would look into your cleft palate teams in the area and decide the best one for you. I personally would not have the surgery done to quickly. You are both going to need time to bond. When this little guy goes into surgery it will be so nice for him to have you there with him as someone he knows and loves. Just think how much he is going to have to go through with just the adjustments of new people, new language, new foods! Give yourselves time to get to know each other! This is just my opinion but I think it is a good one! Take care and good luck! I can still remember that feeling of just wanting them home, NOW!
