Our Members
The following is a map of
our members as of February 5, 2010. It includes survivors of Congenital Diaphragmatic
Hernia. It may not include those families who joined while
expecting and have not updated their membership forms. It
may not reflect accurate locations of members who have moved and not
updated their membership forms.
If you would like to be matched with another family, please contact your State or Country Representative.
We greatly respect the privacy of these families and therefore, only
members who gave permission for matching on their membership forms will
be matched with other members. If your state or country does not
have a Representative, please consider volunteering.
Unfortunately, our main office does not have the time or volunteer
power to match all 3000 members and cannot respond directly to matching
requests - that is the purpose of our Representatives.
