Wow, that really doesn't sound much fun. I can't say I've even heard of that before. You might have tried this already, but have you done a google search for information?

For cleft palates (better know as hare lips, Tiana), the only real option available to you is reconstructive surgery. There will be a fine tracery of scars after the operation is over, and you may be left with a mild speech impediment - but it is definitely better than the alternative.
If you want an idea of what a hair lip looks like after surgery, take a look at Joaquin Phoenix:

A cleft palate is a hair lip - however, it sounds like yours must be rather mild comparatively for your lip not to be split as well.

A cleft palet or lip is nothing to be made fun of. In fact there are many stars that have one and still went on to lead amazing lives. There is a website you might want to look at... www.widesmiles.org this is a website dedicated to helping patients and families dealing with this deformity. Good luck on the surgury.
