  Poland Syndrome : Let's start a support group
 



I have a beautiful baby (toddler actually, but he will always be my baby) who was born with Poland Syndrome/Sequence. It is a rare disorder which affects 1:73 000 children in the world. We have (since his birth) been struggling to find a forum of some sort with other parents whose child also has the same condition.

We have researched on the internet and there is stuff, but it’s mostly repetition. I need to make contact with parents who are experiencing this first hand and who can offer some advice/assistance and I can do the same.

My baby is awesome, and he is definitely not ordinary. I do believe that he was born to stand out - not fit in. I do, however want to give him the best life and make things as easy as I can for him (every parent wants that for their children I am sure).

If you are a parent of a child with Poland Syndrome, please contact me.

Here's a link for the Poland Syndrome forum.
