Here at CHERUBS we are strong advocates for CDH families meeting in person and getting to know each other and sharing experiences and support! We have many get-togethers around the world and our annual
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia International Conference as well. But families often get-together on their own informally and below are photos of 2 such get-togethers.
CDH families meeting in Atlanta:
Carla (Joseph's mom), Lynne (Baer's mom), Marion and Jason (Virginia's parents) and Amy and Steve (Faith's parents)

If you would like us to post photos of your get-together, please e-mail them to us at membership@cherubs-cdh.org They will be posted in our newsletter and on our blog.
I love seeing the pictures of all these family members and loved ones. It makes me realize once again that we're no alone in this. What a great feeling to know that there ARE others who have felt just like me. Thanks!!!
