We celebrate resilience & confront prejudice
One person can make a difference...
Mui was written off and rejected as a baby… Doctors said she’d die in infancy… Tina refused to look the other way… We swapped Australia for Mui… We gave her love, security and encouragement… The lives of all three of us changed forever.

Tina's tenacity and dedication was immense.
Then events overtook us.
Our response was to step forward and adopt.
