Association Of Birth Defect Children, Inc. dba Birth Defect Research for Children
June 7, 2011

The Association of Birth Defect Children is the go-to organization for the families of Vietnam veterans, and all veterans, with children who have unexplained birth defects, they believe are related to the parent's in-service exposures.

The personal attention, expertise, and compassion that the staff gives to our individual veterans and their families who contact the association is exemplary, and a standard by which all service organizations should be measured.

The Excecutive Director and her staff have lent their knowledge and expertise on chilren's health to the Vietnam Veterans of America Agent Orange Committee continuously since the inception of the organization, advising on a multitude of aspects related to chidren's health and exposures, serving in advisory capacities and holding worshops to educate on the latest developments in the ever-evolving field of children's health.

Through personal contact, a very fine web page, and email updates, the Association of Birth Defect Children provide continuous updates on the ever-evolving science and research.

Veteran families have given the highest praise to the organization for its preeminent and unique role in advising families on the unfortunate legacy of toxic chemical exposure.
