Mission Statement:

Welcome to the VACTERL Association Family Network (VAFN)Informational hub.  We are dedicated to the world of VACTERL. We will be pulling weekly research and trying to keep the hub up to date on  the happenings in the VACTERL world.  As well as helping the support groups, promoting awareness, and making sure our angels are never forgotten.
This forum was started in 1996 with the purpose to connect families and friends who have children that have been diagnosed with VATCERLS Syndrome. Our By sharing our stories, advice, support, and love, we hope to create a network of those who have survived VACTERLS and can help others make it through. We do not seek to advise on medical issues.

The goal of our new site is to help keep the VACTERL/VATERS world up to date on new advances and research in the world of medicine that relate to our world.

14 years ago The VATER Connection, Inc was founded by a few families who’s lives were touched by VACTERL in 1998 VACTERL Association Family Network (VAFN) was founded as an MSN group. Together we wanted to promote VACTERL Awareness. With the growth of the VACTERL Community and the Internet many VACTERL sites were created.
With the new design we hope to provide:
• Promote Awareness
• VACTERL Networking
