On March 25 at Bookazine Social, we will celebrate the launch of "An Unexpected Adoption: The Girl Behind the Face," co-authored by Tina and Rog Thomas, with contributions from Mui Thomas.
This book launch will unveil the astonishing journey of a remarkable Hong Kong-based family, one that has been profoundly shaped by the trials and triumphs experienced by Tina, Rog, and Mui, an orphaned baby girl facing a life-changing appearance disorder.
In anticipation of this special event, we had the privilege of interviewing this extraordinary family.
In our latest blog, we delve into the heart of their inspiring narrative by posing a few thought-provoking questions to Tina, Rog, and Mui. Their heartfelt responses reveal how love, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to one another have transformed challenges into profound connections.
- At which pivotal moment did your lives intertwine with Mui's, setting you on an unexpected journey?
- Tina: “It was Mui’s quite shocking reaction to my presence that proved most pivotal.”
- What made you both decide to adopt Mui, a child facing significant obstacles?
- Tina: “The crushing trauma of my past.”
- Rog: “When events overtook us.”
- What are some challenges you have faced?
- Rog, Mui, and Tina: “Like everybody, we face challenges, and everybody’s challenges can differ. The mental health challenges have included: thoughtlessness, discrimination, misguided good intentions, cyberbullying…”
- What key moments in your story highlight the transformative power of love and resilience?
- Tina & Rog: “Throughout, we shine a light on the power of pragmatism and laughter, resilience and a refusal to be silenced.”
- What emotions and insights can readers expect to encounter in this raw and heartfelt memoir?
- Rog & Tina: “We neither minimize nor exaggerate; we share the 'bad' in all its ugliness and the 'good' in all its glory.”
We eagerly await the upcoming launch event on March 25th, where we invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable family and their incredible journey.
Don’t miss the chance to be inspired and to witness how one family's love can illuminate the path through life's challenges.
