She was born with a mole that covers a third of her face, giving her the appearance of a Batman superhero, according to her parents.

When Natalie arrived with a large, mask-like mark on part of her forehead, nose and around her left eye, Andrew, 34, and Lacey Jackson, 35, were amazed.

When a nurse pulled out the newborn baby after he was born via caesarean section on January 9 this year, the parents said they “paniced”.

According to Ms. Jackson, doctors are concerned that Natalie’s mole will continue to expand and pose health problems, and the couple fear she may face harsh treatment as she ages.

“Hearing her first cry was incredibly beautiful,” the mother said of the birth. After the cesarean, the nurse picked up our baby and noticed a large black bruise on the left side of her face.

“She was amazing but she looked like she had a bruise and I was concerned I might have done something to her when she was pregnant.”

“The paramedics said it was just a birthmark, she was breathing and healthy,” she said.

Ms. Jackson began to worry about what others might think of the time as she cuddled with her newborn, who weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce.

She explained, “While hugging our dear child and feeling elated, I worried that people would only look at her for her birthmark instead of the beautiful person she would grow up to be.”

“It was at that point that I made the decision that we would love her unconditionally and give her every ounce of trust in the world to see how beautiful she is — and to do whatever she wants.”

Mr. Jackson, who was born in Hull before moving to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with his wife, works for a software company, while Mrs Jackson works as an autopsy technician.

Elliott, who is seven years old, and Devin, who is four years old, are the couple’s older children. And after meeting their baby sister for the first time, the kids came up with a superhero moniker for her.

“One of the boys questioned, ‘What’s that on her face, mummy?’ said Mrs. Jackson. ‘What exactly is the black mark?’ I informed him that it was her superhero costume. I assured them she could do anything as a result of it.

“People tell us how beautiful she is and how great her birthmark is, and we couldn’t agree more.”

“We’ll always tell her it’s a part of who she is and who she’s destined to be,” said the family. People will always remember how unique she is because of her birthmark, as well as how lovely she is on the inside and out.”

Natalie’s parents took her to an ophthalmologist, an expert in diagnosing eye disorders, a week after she was born.

They wanted to make sure the birthmark wasn’t affecting her vision, so they took her to a dermatologist and a skin specialist, as well as had her undergo an MRI scan.

Natalie faces a multitude of health concerns as she grows up as a result of the deformity, but her parents have surprisingly opted not to remove their daughter’s black blotch.

Strangers cast curious stares at the toddler on the street, but Natalie’s parents are unconcerned.

They believe that “being different is wonderful” and that she should embrace her birthmark in the hopes of becoming a stronger person as a result of it.

“The dermatologist informed us it was a birthmark, but it would grow with her, so it would always cover a huge area of her face,” Mrs. Jackson explained.

“Despite the fact that her birthmark puts her at a slightly higher risk of developing melanoma, a type of skin cancer, due to the possibility of abnormal cells growing, it was still a huge relief.”

“We know she’ll face some challenges, but her mark indicates she’ll be resilient no matter what life throws at her.”
