Parents Refuse To Abort Baby With ‘Deformity’ – Here’s How He Looks A Few Years Later

When Sara Heller learned her unborn son had a cleft lip and palate at 24 weeks pregnant, she and her partner, Chris Eidam, decided to embrace their baby, Brody, as he was. To raise awareness about cleft conditions, they shared photos of Brody on social media. Sara explained, “We wanted to change what ultrasound/newborn/first-year pictures on our Facebook/Instagram accounts looked like.”

 

Despite anticipating unkind remarks, Sara wasn’t ready for a comment on Instagram questioning Brody’s appearance. She chose education over confrontation, hoping Brody would become an advocate for others. Shortly afterward, during dinner with friends, a waiter handed her an unexpected gift: a $1,000 check with “For the beautiful baby” in the memo line. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Sara and Chris used the money for Brody’s medical expenses, including a recent lip surgery.

 

Brody’s eating remains challenging, and he relies on a gastrointestinal tube. He’ll have another surgery at around 9 months to repair his palate. Sara expressed gratitude for the generosity of a stranger, saying, “This experience has shown us just how strong the cleft community is.” People from across the country reached out, offering support and prayers. Sara Heller learned that people genuinely care, and this experience restored her faith in humanity.
