Joey: A member of the original Wide Smiles gang.

His lip and palate fixed, at age 5,
Joey looks great, but with a flat-looking nose.

After rhinoplasty at age 7
his nose is as handsome as he is!

Handsome is as handsome does.
Joey is almost 10.
Bright, handsome, healthy, and our joy.

10 years old, in the fifth grade.

Joey, age 14

Joey is 17 and a senior in high school. He is an honor student and very athletic. You can see by his picture that he's handsome! From the tiny, frightened little baby we greeted from the airplane, to the confident young man he is today, we could not be more proud! What is in store for a child born with a cleft? If Joey is any indication, the sky is his limit! We love you so much, Son. You make us so proud!
