There are certain characteristics that seem to get passed down from one generation to the next. In some cases, it may be the height or perhaps the body shape and in other cases, it could be a distinctive nose or perhaps the colour of the eyes. For this little girl, however, she got the same birthmark that her mother, Breanna, has. That birthmark is a white patch of hair.
What is interesting is that this birthmark did not only show up in the mother and the daughter, the grandmother and the great-grandmother also had it as well. It is a condition that is known as poliosis, which causes a patch of hair and the surrounding skin to be lacking in pigment.
“We are unsure how far back the birthmark goes as my grandmother was adopted as a child and hasn’t met her biological family,” Brianna said. “I was hoping she did have it. My younger sister that my mother had a few years after me didn’t get it, so I didn’t know if MilliAnna was going to, but once I had her and they laid her on my chest and I saw she had it I was so happy.”
MilliAnna was born with a unique white fringe in her hair, the same as her mother.
18 months later, it looks awesome!

“I grew to end up really loving it in my hair and was confident that it was my own unique signature look”
“I plan to raise my daughter knowing she is beautiful and special and to not listen to people mean comments at times”
