Mom wants daughter with rare birthmark to know she’s beautiful

All of us are born uniquely special and irrefutably beautiful in our own way.

One of the most breathtakingly fabulous things about being human is that no two of us are exactly the same, and as the years roll on we’re becoming far better as a species when it comes to accepting and celebrating our differences.

Mother Nicole Lucas Hallson is raising two beautiful kids, her son Asher and daughter Winry. But she’s also on a bigger mission, to prove the idea that we’re perfect due to our imperfections, and aims to reaffirm that her baby daughter, who was born with a rare birthmark, is beautiful just the way she is.

As per Good Morning America, little Winry Hall was born with an extremely rare birthmark known as congenital melanocytic nevi, or CMN.

As a result, Winry, at 13 months old, doesn’t look like the children around her – the rare birthmark that covers a fourth of her face.

Nicole, who works as a teacher, was really concerned and shocked when the nurses handed Winry over to her after the delivery in February 2021.

She had a pretty normal pregnancy and didn’t expect her daughter to have a skin condition.

”I was lucky to have a pretty average pregnancy! I had morning sickness from about weeks 8-14, but as soon as that let up I felt great until the tiredness kicked in the last month,” she writes on her blog.

According to Nicole, it was probably the doctors and nurses who first spotted the CMN. But nothing came out of their mouths besides cheering and congratulations for such a fast and smooth delivery.¨

They also assured Nicole that all of Winry’s vitals looked good.

After Nicole had nursed her newborn daughter for a while, she started to look at Winry. First, the confused mother thought the big mark on Winrys head was just a bruise.

“It was then quickly apparent to my husband and I that it was not a bruise. And like the name, I thought it looked a lot like a mole,” Nicole says.

In her blog, Nicole has described her feelings.

”Some of the excitement of labor had passed, and I would say worry was the main emotion I felt – I recognized that it resembled a mole, but I had never seen anything like it, and I was worried it might be harmful to her. None of the nurses had said anything about it at this point, but I wasn’t sure what to ask so I just held her tight and loved on her.”

A report by the National Organization for Rare Diseases states that CMN can take the form of light brown or black patches, and can reach almost any size on any part of the body.

Nicole and her partner now want to highlight their daughter’s uniqueness, in a bid to encourage others that being slightly different isn’t something to be ashamed of, but rather proud of.

“For a lot of people, this is the first time seeing a birthmark like hers and that’s part of why I enjoy sharing,” Hall said.

“This is a good conversation for parents with their children to see kids have differences, or for those parents who do have a kid that looks like Winry or has any kind of a birthmark to see their child represented.”

Given that Winry’s birthmark could put her at an increased risk of developing melanoma (skin cancer), her parents take precautions to protect her skin. Nicole, though, said that she’s more worried that her daughter will encounter bullying when she grows older.

“Her health and happiness are our top priority. We have to monitor her with sunscreen. I’m careful with hats and that sort of thing,” Hall explained to Good Morning America.

“I know our regular dermatology appointment is probably going to be our best friend growing up.”

As for how Winry sees the world, she’s a happy, energetic little girl without a care in the world. In short, she’s everything a baby should be.

“She just radiates joy. She’s almost always laughing or shrieking,” Hall said. “She is just the happiest baby I have ever seen.

“She’s a big talker already. We haven’t got a whole lot of words out, but she tells you like it is and she’s already getting a little bit of sassiness, so I think we’re gonna have a lot on our hands.”

We here at Newsner agree that differences should be celebrated, and never mocked or looked down upon. We think Winry is a truly special little girl, and a beautiful soul to boot!

Please, share this article on Facebook to send love and confidence Winry’s way! And to show that you agree that all children are beautiful.

WHEN VANESSA CAME HOME EARLY FROM A BUSINESS TRIP, SHE THOUGHT SHE’D SURPRISE HER HUSBAND—BUT NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED HER FOR WHAT SHE FOUND 👀🍼 After three long weeks in New York, Vanessa was finally back in sunny San Diego. Her trip had been productive but draining, and all she wanted was to be back in her own bed next to her husband, Eric. Her flight landed late, but she didn’t want to wait till morning. She slipped quietly into the house, dropped her bag, and didn’t turn on a single light. Vanessa hadn’t told Eric she was coming home early—she wanted to surprise him. With a soft smile, she tiptoed toward the bedroom, excited to slip under the covers and see the look on his face when he woke up. But what she saw stopped her cold. Moonlight lit the room just enough to reveal Eric fast asleep… and someone else on the bed. A baby. Tiny, swaddled in a soft blue blanket, curled up peacefully—on her side of the bed. Vanessa froze. Her heart pounded. They didn’t have kids. Eric had no family. So who was this baby? She stepped around the bed and shook Eric awake. “Eric. Eric! Wake up!” He stirred. “Vanessa…? What are you doing here?” “Meet me in the kitchen. Now.” Still groggy, he followed. She flipped on the light and crossed her arms. “Care to explain the baby in our bed?” Eric sighed. “Someone left him on our doorstep a few days ago. I didn’t know what to do. I’ve just… been taking care of him.” “What? Why didn’t you call the police?” “I meant to. But he needed formula, diapers, he kept crying… I’ve been overwhelmed. I figured I’d handle it. Let’s talk about it in the morning, please.” Vanessa was stunned. But too tired to argue more, she followed him back to bed, her thoughts racing. 7:03 a.m. She woke to voices in the other room. “Eric, you have to tell her. You can’t keep lying.” “I will, I promise. I just… want the DNA results first.” Vanessa sat straight up. DNA? Tell who what? And who was this woman? She crept toward the living room… 👇 (Full story in the first comment)
