Baby Angelica was born in 2018 with a distinctive heart-shaped port wine stain on her face—a mark her parents, Marianna and family from Adelaide, South Australia, embraced with love. Despite the joy she brought, Angelica faced cruel bullying and harsh comments from strangers who called her “hideous” and even said she would never find love. Marianna shared the heartbreaking insults, including someone comparing her daughter’s face to being “grilled” and others telling her Angelica was a “defect.”

Though people suggested covering the birthmark with makeup or expected it to fade, Marianna stood firm, insisting her daughter’s beauty was undeniable and that Angelica should never feel the need to hide. The family is vigilant about Angelica’s health, regularly monitoring for conditions linked to port wine stains, like glaucoma.

Despite the negativity, Angelica is growing into a confident little girl who isn’t afraid to show her unique beauty. Marianna advocates kindness and respect, reminding everyone that every child deserves to be celebrated for who they are.
