Jase and Missy Robertson’s journey: Overcoming obstacles and finding strength
Mia Robertson, the youngest child of Duck Dynasty’s Jase & Missy Robertson, was born with cleft lip and palate, a birth defect characterized by an opening in the top lip that may also affect the gums.
Approximately one in every 1,600 newborns born in the United States has a cleft lip and cleft palate, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sweet Mia, now eighteen, has had to endure 13 operations due to her ailment; the fourteenth one was just completed a short while ago. The family sincerely hopes that this will be Mia’s final procedure before her issue is resolved.
The young child stays positive during each procedure. Above all, she aspires to be an encouragement to other young children who share her condition at birth. To help ensure that every child has a grin on their face, Mia founded the Mia Moo Fund on her own initiative and with the support of her family.
As they welcome a child whose mother is unfit to care for them into their hearts and home, the Robertson family has also been getting ready for a new member.
