Brianna in an interview with DailyMail says,

 “We are unsure how far back the birthmark goes as my grandmother was adopted as a child and hasn’t met her biological family.”

“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.”
