This Baby Was Born With A Birthmark Which Turned Her Into “Little Superhero”

ADVERTISEMENT

When Natalie Jackson was born four months ago, her parents admitted that they were “filled with panic.” Although doctors said the tiny baby was completely healthy, she arrived with a dark birthmark on face, which is expected to grow as the baby girl does.

But her parents‘ love for the uniquely beautiful baby soon conquered the fear and little Natalie was actually dubbed a “little superhero” since her birthmark resembles a Batman and Robin-style domino mask. Although Natalie‘s parents know that she might be facing some difficulties in the future, they agreed not to have the birthmark removed and embrace her unique and different looks. “Her mark means she is going to be strong no matter what life throws at her,” says Lacey. “People tell us how amazing her birthmark is and what a cute baby she is, and we couldn’t agree more.”

When the girl was a week old, she was taken to see an ophthalmologist (eye disease diagnostician) check if the birthmark isn’t causing any damage to her vision. She also had some other important consultations. Even though the face mask resembling birthmark might slightly increase the risk of developing melanoma in the future, it was a relief for the parents to find out that everything is fine.

This happy baby’s whole family, including her two brothers, ages 7 and 4, couldn’t be more delighted with the beautiful “superhero” baby and are prepared to stand behind her back no matter what. “We’ll always tell her it’s a part of who she is and who she is supposed to be. People will always know how special she is with her birthmark and how amazing she is inside and out.”

    The story of Natalie Jackson, with her distinctive birthmark resembling a superhero mask, resonates deeply with the experiences of others who have chosen to embrace their unique features rather than hide them. Much like Cassandra Naud, Natalie’s birthmark has become a part of her identity, marking her as special and memorable.

    This idea of celebrating uniqueness can be further explored in stories where facing societal pressures head-on proves empowering, such as when individuals decide to keep features that make them stand out.

    "Although Natalie‘s parents know that she might be facing some difficulties in the future, they agreed not to have the birthmark removed and embrace her unique and different looks." Hopefully the girl will appreciate her parent's decision and embrace her looks, otherwise there will be a lot of anger over her parent's decision.

    She is very cute and looks such a happy little soul. It's a monumental decision to have to make on someone else's behalf, particularly with the increased risk of melanoma, even if it is slight. It might not be so easy to remove if she wants to later in life but I expect the family have been advised accordingly. May her superhero status carry her far.

    Jesus, I would never judge another parent for loving their kid as they are, but unless the world changes DRASTICALLY in the next 5 years, this kid is going to resent them for the rest of her life. She's a beautiful, healthy, and adorably happy baby, but that birth mark is going to be an impediment the second she reaches socializing ages. I feel terrible for her.

    I am friends with a woman who has light scarring on her face from having a her facial birthmark removed. She had had it done using her own money because it was literally ruining her life. She said school was the worst. She was bullied mercilessly everyday and called the most horrible names and no one wanted to be friends with her because the rumour went around that the birthmark was catching. This was in Elementary school. High school was even worse. And the bullying was as much physical as vocal. Things got so bad she even attempted suicide twice. Even then her parents wouldn't let her have the birthmark removed despite her councillor pleading with them. And they could well afford to. When she left school she found it hard to get work she decided to use her trust fund money to get the birthmark removed. She has now cut off all contact with her parents because she blames them for her horrible childhood. They don't know where she lives or does now and as she says, never will.
