This is rather rare, but has anyone had children with bonus fingers (polydactyly)?

My 3M son is adopted and has three extra fingers on his right hand, two of which being fully functional and one being tiny and impossible for him to move on its own. He had an extra finger on his left hand at birth that was DIY amputated by his birth parents...We don't want him to be teased or rejected because of his hands. Surgery can be done to remove the excess fingers, but he will likely have phantom pain from it. He can still feel his finger that was removed and tries to do things like touch his thumb to it sometimes. He said it was invisible when he learned that word and it pinches sometimes.His hand differences are very noticeable. Other children including family members find them scary. I've been accepting it as the way he is, but maybe the best decision is to have the surgery young, as when he's older doctors will have to cut through even more tissue to remove them.What would you do as a parent? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MhO1L7
