I'm Victoria, I was born in Russia with a cleft lip and palate, I was adopted out at the age of 17 months and began my long journey ahead in New Zealand. I'm 23 years of age and have currently had 13 operations with still one more in the near future. I've lost count of the amount of hospital visits and orthodontic procedures however i'm sure the numbers are pretty sky high. I won't lie the journey has been rough but the results have made up for it all :) Im welcome to talking with anyone even if its just for a bit of support. We are in it together xx
