She was overjoyed to be a mother, but when she saw his face, she bolted and abandoned him in the maternity crib.

Treacher-Collins Syndrome is a rare genetic illness that affects the growth of the cheekbones, jawbone, ears, eyes, and lips, among other parts of the face.

It is found in about one out of every 50,000 births and causes varied degrees of physical disability, including issues with breathing, hearing, and vision.

Despite this, people with TCS are not cognitively or emotionally impaired; they feel the same feelings as everyone else and suffer heartbreak from rejection.

Jono Lancaster was born in October 1985 with Treacher Collins Syndrome. When he was diagnosed, his parents were told he would never be able to walk or talk.

After a few days after his birth, the couple placed him for adoption. Jean fell immediately in love with the baby and decided to take him in as a foster child.

Her heart was overflowing with love, and she dedicated herself to caring for him for five years until they eventually made their adoption public.

Jean has been an inexhaustible source of support and kindness for the boy throughout that time, being far more than just a ‘tall’ figure in his life; she has been an ever-present rock of compassion and care.

Jean has 30 years of experience fostering children in need and has shown herself to be an exceptional role model with an impenetrable capacity for love.

”Jean, a single mother in her forties, welcomed me into her family. She’d taken on the challenging task of caring for foster children, and every time one of them departed, she felt like she’d let them down.

Even though Jean didn’t know what would happen, she welcomed me with open arms and gave Claire, me, and Stephen a loving home.

Jean was more to me than just an angel; she was my hero. Her generosity and readiness to take on the obligations of a single mother while also caring for other foster children taught me what it means to be unselfish and give with your time.

I will never forget Jean as the extraordinary woman who took me in at a critical time and provided me with a family to treasure for the rest of my life.”

Jono finally accepted his physical appearance at the age of twenty-two and stopped avoiding gazing in mirrors.

His cheerful attitude has served him well throughout his life, rebutting any assumptions others had about him based on his appearance.

His progress has been phenomenal since then, prompting him to be proud of himself and what he has accomplished despite having Treacher Collins Syndrome.

Jono, now 32 years old and with a loving partner by his side, is an inspiring advocate for those affected by the illness.

He travels the world, raising awareness and encouraging others by sharing his tales of living with the disease.

Even if he had the option, he would not get facial repair surgery. After all, it wouldn’t be him, and he believes that an almighty power has predetermined his physical appearance for a specific purpose.

His altered viewpoint on his physical attributes is most likely the result of recent interior changes.

”I was born in West Yorkshire and had a great network of friends and family to lean on. Despite having Treacher Collins Syndrome, I have found the courage to accept my appearance and be proud of it.

Instead of hiding from people, I’ve shown off my infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I’ve embraced life and fully appreciated who I am.”

The BBC documentary “Love Me, Love My Face” depicts the inspiring story of an extraordinary individual. Because of his positive attitude and self-confidence, this brave man has been able to speak out for others, resulting in better conditions in his world.

His perspective exemplifies how believing in oneself can be incredibly uplifting and rewarding.

Positive thinking and self-love may be incredibly successful in conquering problems, no matter how intimidating they appear to be.

This exciting story encourages people to work toward optimism, security, and self-respect by showing how a destructive mindset can make us weak and unable to help ourselves.

It also serves as a reminder that spreading this word to others can have a significant impact on our lives and the world around us.
