Welcome New Parents
















Dear and family:
On behalf of the Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome Team, I would like to welcome you to the Moebius Syndrome Family! Receiving the unexpected diagnosis of Moebius Syndrome has probably left you with many questions, concerns and fears, as you begin navigating through this new and uncertain territory. We are here to help you navigate!
MFOMS has a private Facebook group called Moebius Friends Support Network that is made up of people who have Moebius, parents with children of all ages with Moebius, as well family members. Please reach out to join the MFSN group if you haven’t already done so. It is a valuable resource for the many questions you likely have. (Please make sure to answer the question as to why you would like to join). MFSN is a loving and accepting group of remarkable people who understand the challenges and concerns you may have. We will also be there to celebrates all the milestones and triumphs that you will have along the way.
