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.
