Well I also did some research, and I took Genetics Honors during my senior year, and yes bent pinkies is a trait. Not only that there is a theory (I may not be able to to confirm if it's true or false) that saids that bent pinkies is a trait of a reptilian ancestor. I thought that theory sounded cool so I shared. :

I am one of 3 girls in my family and i am the only one who has bent pinky fingers. No one else in my family has it except for my great auntie. Now I have never met her but apparently she has it to. It is very possible that genes are skipped just like how i am the only blond and blue eyed child too in my olive skinned, black haired family. No i am not adopted just lucky ;D This really goes to show how genes have the ability to hang on a little longer before they become apart of someones DNA

You said that your little finger's are slightly bent, this could mean that you possess the trait, and thus passed it onto you child. Yes a bent pinky finger is hereditary :)
