Pineapple Promise: A Thailand Adoption Memoir
When Holly and Vince Stofa began their journey to adopt a child from Thailand, they expected paperwork, patience, and perseverance. What they didn't expect was how deeply the process would test and ultimately transform them.
Pineapple Promise is a true story of courage, love, and the quiet strength that comes from following your heart even when the world says "impossible." From navigating international bureaucracy to facing moments of doubt, distance, and delay, Holly's honest and often humorous storytelling reveals what it means to stay rooted in purpose while the ground shifts beneath you.
Through the lens of adoption, Pineapple Promise explores something the human drive to connect, to belong, and to build family, by choice and by courage. With the same small-town girl authenticity that defines her work as a former CIA operative turned high-performance coach, Holly reminds us that the most extraordinary missions begin not with a plan, but with something simple and a promise kept.

This memoir is sure to provide an array of emotions. It is a testament to the human spirit and our capacity to give and receive love in so many ways. It provides a view of the deeper meaning of giving of oneself from both sides of adoption and can, on a more meaningful level, let us learn how to be kinder, better versions of ourselves. We can also gain insight into this journey, the process and some of the feelings associated with adoption. I'm sure each is as unique as the children themselves. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
