Baby Was Born with Heart-Shaped Mark on His Head — 7 Years Later His Birthmark Still Attracts Attention
Every child is a unique gift given to their parents, but one child had a one-of-a-kind feature that attracted attention from his very first day on earth. Meet the beautiful child, and discover why he was called the "Love Baby."
Couples can't wait to see their newborns and often debate which parent they resemble most. Parents look at their infants' hair, eyes, and adorable smiles and fall in love with every part of them.
A lucky couple from Turkey couldn't believe their eyes when they saw their son for the first time. The nurses asked to take photos with him, and soon the rest of the world wanted to see him.
THERE WAS SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT THEIR BABY
When parents Murat and Ceyda Engin welcomed baby Çinar into the world in 2015, they were delighted he was healthy and happy. However, there was more to Çinar than they knew, and it didn't take long for Murat to realize it.
One woman invited him to appear on the Bulgarian National Television.
While a nurse cleaned the infant's face after birth, the besotted parents stared at their blessing. Murat was stunned when he noticed a red mark on his son's forehead.
THE MARK SURPRISED HIS PARENTS
Murat moved closer to baby Çinar and inspected the pink color on his skin. Then, the parents' eyes filled with tears as they saw the mark he would carry for the rest of his life. Murat expressed:
"I was really surprised. When I came to close his head I realized that it was an amazing heart."
The proud parents adored Çinar's birthmark, but they had no idea how it would affect his life. People were drawn to their son, and he received a special nickname.
MEET THE "LOVE BABY"
As nurses flocked around baby Çinar, they took selfies and stared in disbelief at the perfectly shaped heart on his head. One of the nurses shouted:
"Oh my good unbelievable, he is a love baby (sic)."
The mother and father soon learned that their son and his birthmark were true gifts from God. No one else in Çinar's family had a unique birthmark, and dad Murat shared: "None of us had negative feelings. We believe that he was born with his chance."
HE GAINED MANY FANS
Members of the public wanted a chance to meet Çinar, and countless admirers stopped the family whenever they saw him. They loved taking photos with him, and he spread positivity wherever he went. Murat added:
"When we walk around, all people smile at us and love him. All of our friends are curious about his birthmark because of its heart shape."
Whenever the family took their son for routine checkups, the medical staff immediately recognized Çinar. They had another name for him: "Hearted boy."
HE IS STILL MAKING PEOPLE SMILE
While most people have to start talking to convey a message of hope, baby Çinar had a gift that always displayed kindness. In 2022, the growing toddler still boasts the bright pink birthmark — and it continues to spread joy.
One woman invited him to appear on the Bulgarian National Television. She addressed his parents and stated:
"I have seen the wonderful photos of your beautiful son Çınar and I would be very happy if we could 'meet' on Skype and introduce you to the Bulgarian audience!"
THE PUBLIC OPINION
Numerous netizens have commented on Çinar's unique feature, and a handful noted that his birthmark appeared in specific photos on different sides of his head.
"How odd. This is the only picture where his birthmark is on the opposite side of his forehead."
However, it was just the camera angle, and there was nothing to be concerned about. On their Instagram page, most photos feature Çinar with a big smile on his face, displaying that he had a beautiful heart on the inside too.
PARENTS SHARE THEIR KIDS' BIRTHMARK STORIES
Many babies are born with hidden and visible birthmarks. Commenters resonated with Çinar and often shared their stories. Someone noted: "I have the same mark on my cheek."
Another user didn't understand that Çinar and his parents saw his birthmark as a blessing, not a curse. They wrote:
"Over time it goes away, it dims, so don't worry, my son was born with one all over his chest, and today 18 years later he has nothing."
HIS UNIQUE FEATURE INSPIRES OTHERS
While people will undoubtedly have varying opinions about the little boy's feature, he has been raised to love and appreciate it. Fortunately, most of the feedback he has received has been positive.
One user expressed: "Love, you are beautiful. I adore you so much." Someone else shared that the little boy's photo made them happy during a difficult time. The netizen said:
"He is awesome. I'm at the hospital with my dad and this made my heart smile."
SPREAD LOVE WHEREVER YOU GO
Most people might not have a heart-shaped birthmark on their foreheads, but most can smile — and that also has the power to change someone's life.
The world can be a harsh place, and we all need some cheering up now and then. Hopefully, Çinar's story inspires us to carry love wherever we go. Do you have a special birthmark?
