After being turned down by 20 possible adoptive families in addition to her mother, a little girl’s circumstances have turned around.
The fact that social services rarely provide custody to a single, gay male may be the main reason behind the viral nature of Luca Trapanese’s adoption story of baby Alba.
However, in Luca’s instance, they made an exception. and we’re pleased that they did.
The Italian man Luca, 41, reportedly wrote a book detailing his path to fathering Alba, a girl with Down syndrome, according to the BBC.
Trapanese clarified that his case is unique in a radio broadcast, saying that it “destroys stereotypes about fatherhood, religion, and family.”
He told the BBC, “I was told I would only be given a child with an illness, a severe disability, or with behavioral problems.” “I had no problem with that at all.”
When Alba was just 13 days old and had already been turned down by 20 families due to her illness, Luca adopted her back in 2017.
She gave me a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. I’m honored to be her father,” he remarked.
Luca had experience working in various special needs care facilities and had always wished to have a child. At the age of 14, he lost his best buddy to cancer, which ignited his love for helping others.
He gave his time to Catholic-affiliated groups, frequently providing crucial care or assistance to the sick and crippled.
For this reason, even though he was single, he went ahead and adopted Alba, who is now happily living with her father.
Alba is a determined young child who occasionally exhibits stubbornness, according to the BBC. She enjoys the company of others and loves to play and dance.
It was my first experience holding a newborn child. I had always been afraid before then. I felt ready to be Alba’s father, though, from the moment I held her,” he remarked. “I couldn’t contain my delight. I instantly felt that she was my daughter.
A few years have passed since Luca and Alba’s lovely romance went viral. Fans may still keep up with their adventures and daily lives, though, by following Luca on Instagram, where he has more than 320,000 followers.
The pair has a great time and makes the most of their days hanging out.
Naturally, the epidemic has had an impact on their life, but their enduring love is so beautiful to witness. They like spending time together, traveling throughout Italy, painting, hanging out with friends, and being outside.
