Was reading Star newspaper today and came across this section...Saw someone that I met in person before coz she often brought her kids to my work place for immunizations..teeeheee..
But never thought she's some ex Miss Malaysia O.o I totally admired this kind yet humble lady...especially the love for her kids,Jodie,Harry (adopted) and Thomas..
KUALA LUMPUR: When actress and former Miss Malaysia Samantha Schubert was “expecting” in 2004, she and hubby could not care less if the baby was black, white, brown or yellow – all they wanted was a girl.
“We were thrilled when the Welfare Department called about a week-old baby girl up for adoption.
“I fell in love immediately with this beautiful thing in my arms; who cares about her skin colour?” said Samantha of her daughter Jodie, who is of Indian parentage.
Two years later, Samantha and husband Oliver Knott again adopted a baby. This time an Indian boy they named Harry.
Samantha is herself an adopted child of Datuk Paddy Bowie, a business consultant and writer.
The Knotts had resided in England after their marriage, but the traumatic loss of their first child seven years ago brought them back to Malaysia to be close to Bowie.
Last year, Samantha gave birth to Thomas.
The couple play it fair with all three children.
“There is no difference between them. Jodie is the only daughter I have known, and I am the only mother Harry has ever known. In turn, they are the only older sister and brother Tommy knows,” she said.
If Jodie and Harry want to search for their biological parents when they are old enough, Samantha is cool with that as well.
Samantha said her life had been blessed many times over having been bestowed with a “multicultural, multiracial, multi-everything” family.
“Jodie and Harry are not my blood, but together with Tommy, they are my life,” said Samantha
