What is a Cleft Palate
Even though Whisper doesn't have a name for the deformity in her mouth and lips, it is called a Cleft Palate, and with surgery, can be fixed. Many children are born with cleft palates today and with the right medical attention, they can have the condition corrected and can live normal, healthy lives. In Whisper's case, her cleft palate was not fixed when she was a baby and she is unsure as to whether she should have it fixed when she is an adult.
