“We call it the lucky fin”, say his parents, because little Ronan came into the world to show that being different is special.
This baby went viral after being born with symbrachydactyly, a condition that affects one in every 30 thousand births. In his case, his right hand has small, fused fingers, something his parents knew from the 20-week ultrasound.
Many users joke that Ronan was born with the hand of the future, getting ahead of evolution where we would no longer need the pinky.
Claire, his mom, decided to share her story to normalize these differences. “We are absolutely in love with how unique our boy is”, says the family, who received the news calmly after learning that the baby is completely healthy.
His parents are excited to see how he will adapt to the world with his unique characteristic. Do you think it really could be a trait of the future?
