Mia Robertson, the youngest daughter of Duck Dynasty stars Jase and Missy Robertson, has spent much of her life working through a condition known as cleft lip and palate. Though this congenital difference can manifest in various ways, Mia’s situation involved both a gap in the upper lip and a cleft palate. According to the U.S.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in every 1,600 babies is born with both a cleft lip and a cleft palate in the United States. For the Robertson family, those statistics became personal when Mia arrived, and they have been steadfast in ensuring she receives the care she needs while also making a difference for others in similar circumstances.
