Review for Association Of Birth Defect Children, Inc. dba Birth Defect Research for Children, Orlando, FL, USA
I am the national committee chair for Vietnam Veterans of America's Agent Orange/Dioxin and other toxic substance committee. The link between parental toxic exposures and birth defects in their offspring is an issue that needs more research. Birth Defect Research for Children
provides a valuable service to the general public on the birth defect issue. They provide a data gathering service for Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange herbicides and have childrend with birth defects. I have worked with the organization on the birth defect issue and can testify to the great work they are doing.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in the input on legislative issue related to birth defects and veterans; the sharing of scientific information on birth defects; and valuable review of presentations that I have given on the issue of birth defects.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Expand the ability of the organization to gather birth defect information related to parental toxic exposures and provide funding for research using the current and expanded data collect by the organization. This is especially need in regards to toxin/gene relationship. I rated the organization as meets expectations because so much more could be done with increased funding.
