To the bastards who gave this lad away at birth.
It's your loss. He's a fucking legend.

This guy's story makes me cry. I just became a father and can't imagine that I'd ever leave a little, innocent child. I feel so bad for him and I am so glad that he turned out the way he did. What a hero.

I worked as a nurse in the 70s in the NHS . Parents with a child born with birth defects were told to leave the baby behind, go home, and forget them . Most I saw had spina bifida, which wasn't understood. It is caused by a lack of vitamin B12 . I remember one young mother coming back to the children's ward wanting to see her baby . It was heartbreaking because she was told to forget your baby. As a nurse, these little babies needed extra care, took longer to feed, and as I was feeding a bottle to a little baby, the Dr made some remark . I said they're beautiful, and he replied they're monsters. One day, all the little ones about 6 om the ward i was wirking on were transferred to an orphanage in another part of uk . When I learned years later of the abuse those children often suffered, I remember that young mum who wanted to bring her baby home but did what she was told by so-called professionals. Of course, most Dr's are kind, but not all are, nor are all nurses either .

I honestly feel more sorry for his birth parents. Imagine giving birth to this incredible man and never even knowing just how beautiful he is.

Jono is absolutely an attractive man. I would definitely pick him out of a crowd of people to befriend.

I read somewhere that "anger is like holding a piece of hot coal with the intent at throwing it; you're the one that gets burned" and it stuck with me and helped me accept my family

"Beauty is not from outside, it's from inside."

this man is a legend, regardless of anything else heās been through, the fact that he forgives his biological parents for both occasions is amazing

I lost faith in humanity and then gained it back again listening to this champion of a man. Your strength and kindness are inspiring.

No parent should abandon their child just because they may look different. They are your flesh and blood!! šš and the fact he got bullied for looking different just shows we still live in a cruel world, where people think theyāre better than everyone else, because they look ānormalā as theyād say. It boils my blood how you can tear someone down for something they canāt change knowing it wonāt affect you. I have no sympathy for bullies. Big respect to this guy and his positivity šš¼ā¤

I'm an intersex person from Tennessee who changed the doctors call once I reached adulthood. I understand the bullying. Always someone who thinks their might makes it right to judge for whatever reason. Regular people have a lot of misconceptions about what its like to walk harder roads being born different. "We don't like looking at you or you shouldn't exist, go away." Children may ask questions but they learn cruelty, mean spiritedness and hate from their parents. His parents were probably one of those parents. Keep shining your light brother.

Jono! You are a beautiful, thoughtful, introspective man. I have friends who had a baby with many congenital problems. The doctors said the child would not live past 6 months to one year, and they advised just to take the baby home and let him die naturally. The parents asked if there was anything that could be done for their baby. Well, yes, they could do a heart operation, but it would only extend his life by maybe half a year. It would be expensive. The parents decided to do the operation. Many more followed. Their baby made it to 4 years old and more operations would need to be done. The parents sold their house, and changed professions to pay for the operations. They did fund raisers, they did marathons. Their son is now 22, will graduate university next year. His parents spoke at my church and said they believed God sent them that child specifically, and that despite huge medical expenses, they would not trade him for anything.
Your message is so needed. Every life is of value, and needs a word of genuine kindness. Iām so glad I got to see this video interview and meet you electronically. Youāre a boost to my day!

Wonderful interview! My uncle has Treacher Collin's syndrome. He is a wonderfully brilliant man. Went on to become a professor at University of Florida (JUST retired). He is happily married and has 2 children. He has never been interested in sharing his story, but I have always wanted other people with this syndrome to hear it- especially the young ones. He was born in the 1940's and my grandma was told to abandon him at birth- she couldn't. Juno, thank you for this interview.

He has the makings of a crazy serial killer.. left at birth by his parents, mocked by kids all his childhood years.. yet he is the most down to earth and kind person around.. what a great person.

Jono has a tonne of things in his favour, he is intelligent, a great story teller, well dressed, fashionable, presents himself well, takes care of his appearance. He honestly is in a class above most people and the fact that he has owned his condition all his life is an amazing and is a great role model for every kid growing up with difference.

I would love to shake this manās hand. I couldnāt imagine the foolishness of giving up on such a great child. He obviously grew up to be a great individual. Iām blessed to have two young healthy children that are perfectly healthy so far, which Iām very grateful for, but I couldnāt ever imagine loving them less if we werenāt as fortunate. I showed physical and mental development issues when I was about 2 years old, I was tested over and over, doctors couldnāt exactly say why I was developing slower, but they made many predictions about what I couldnāt do when I was older, none of those things came true, some instances the opposite happened. My parents never accepted anything but the best from me in education, sports and personality. It boils my blood to see adults diminish or try to limit a kids potential, thereās no telling what kids are possible regardless of any misfortunes they may have. God bless this man, and the example he sets.

How amazing humans are.
His natural birth parents BOTH somehow managed to walk out of that hospital without their baby son.
And then another woman, with no biological ties to him, who could have probably chosen any other ānormalā
baby, and decided to actually choose this baby boy!!! What a woman, and what a man this is!!!
Itās truly an incredible story.
And I tell my daughters to find inspiration from people like this, not pop stars and athletes.

Doesn't feel like an interview at all. It's like a conversation between old pals. Really well done šš¾

Rejection and abandonment are such hard emotions to over come. Itās so awesome Johno that your kindness roses above and it really shows. Lots of people experience rejection and abandonment to the point it turns into borderline personality disorder. You are a legend and your mind is really powerful. I love the charity that you started. Seriously well done

Said it once, and I will say it again. A man who can stay as positive as this, is more precious than most of the 'regular' people around nowadays. Hats of to you, mister Lancaster
