Baby Who Was Abandoned Because Of His Looks Becomes A Successful Model And Motivator 38 Years Later

If a child is born with a physical defect, it may be hard for them to get used to how they look. But a harsher and worse reality is being born into a family that doesn’t want to raise you because of how you look. Jono has known this since he was a child, but he chooses to accept his beauty in order to show other people that they should accept themselves no matter what they think they should look like.

A problem with his genes and the heartbreaking decision to let him go.

Jono Lancaster, who is now 37 years old, has had a different look from other kids his age ever since he was a child. He has a weak jaw and no cheekbones, and he likes to say that his ears look like Bart Simpson’s. These are the things that make up his face. It has been found that he does, in fact, have Treacher Collins syndrome, which is a very rare genetic condition that causes facial and head abnormalities. One out of every 50,000 people born alive has this very rare condition

Even though caring for a child with this syndrome could be hard for parents who have never taken care of a newborn before, Jono’s parents chose to do something they hadn’t planned. They gave up their rights to him about 36 hours after he was born. They didn’t even want the rest of their family to meet Jono before they did this.

Little Jono was left alone not long after he was born, which was a terrible thing for him to go through. At the time, they were a married couple in their early twenties, and they didn’t want to take on that responsibility. They may have made this choice because they didn’t want to raise their own child.

His birth mother is his most loyal friend, and his adoptive mother is his biggest fan

Even though the situation was sad, Jono’s guardian angel on earth saved his life by taking him into her arms and raising him without caring about how he looked or what people thought about him. Jono’s adoptive mother, Momma Jean, took care of him when he was just two weeks old. When he was five years old, she officially became his mother.

She did a fantastic job protecting me,

Jono said this while remembering how excited she had been to meet him even though the hospital had warned her about how he looked before they met for the first time.

She’s always told me that the first time she saw me, she couldn’t help but smile.

All you need is love, a mother’s kind of superhero love!

Jono often shares Instagram posts in which he talks about how much he loves and appreciates his birth mother. Even though he was adopted, he has never felt alone because his mother has always given him a safe place to get away from the pressures and stresses of the outside world. Even though his birth parents left him when he was a baby, he is still doing well.

Over the course of Jono’s childhood, his stepmother told him “bits” of the story and gradually told him what his parents had decided.

With as much tact as possible, she told me that my parents couldn’t cope […] As I got older and could understand things better, she said they’just struggled to accept that I was different.’

During his teen years, he grew into an adult who accepted himself more and more.

Since the day he was born, he had been struggling with whether or not to accept his strange physical features, and he was still on that path. As soon as Jono started high school, he realized that people made assumptions about him. He said,

I was exposed to kids who hadn’t known me before. They hadn’t met anybody with facial features like mine. They’d pull down their eyes, fold up their ears.

Throughout all of those years, he held a grudge against his real parents. He didn’t learn how to deal with this feeling until he was 20. This was the start of a period of growing up and getting better, which helped him become the confident and outgoing person he is now.

Another thing that happened that made him feel better about himself was that he kissed a woman he had never thought would be interested in him.

I went from thinking that I was unlovable to feeling like the most attractive in the world. She said, ’I love your face.’

Juno’s goal is to give people with the same syndrome a sense of confidence.

When Jono was 25, he finally found out the truth about how his parents had left him, and he was ready to deal with the terrible truth. When he had finished reading the adoption papers, he thought:

These 2 people were supposed to love you, but they were not able to bond with you.

After that, he decided to give them a chance to get in touch with him by writing them a letter in 2009 and asking that they get in touch with him. A response they just got told him the bad news that they didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Today, Jono wants to be a role model for other people who are dealing with the same condition as him and help those people build their self-confidence. After years of being rejected, having low self-esteem, and having bad looks, Juno finally learns to accept himself for who he is. Aside from that, he works as a model, and we can finally say,

I look at my face, and instead of wanting to push my eyes up, I smiled.

Even though he might never be able to forgive his parents for what they did, he’s learned something important about them:

They brought me into this world. I need to live the life that they gave me. It’s been a long journey to get where I am. But I’m in a place of happiness and joy.
