When she was 24 weeks pregnant, Sara Heller’s ultrasound revealed that her son had a cleft lip and palate. Heller and her partner, Chris Eidam, were left reeling after hearing the news.
However, once they came to terms with the news, they realized that their son Brody would always be beautiful. In a bid to spread awareness about the condition, they decided to share as many photos of Brody as they could on social media.
Despite their hope of normalizing cleft lips and palates, Heller and Eidam knew that there would be cruel comments. Even though she knew this, Heller was unprepared for what would happen when someone eventually asked about Brody.
