A young girl’s luck has changed after being turned down by her mother and twenty extra families that wanted to adopt her.
Luca Trapanese and his daughter Alba’s adoption story has gained widespread attention for a variety of reasons, but maybe none more so than the rarity with which social services will grant custody to a single, homosexual male.
For Luca, though, they did make an exception. and we are overjoyed that they did.
According to the BBC, Italian Luca, 41, authored a book on raising Alba, a child with Down syndrome, and the difficulties he encountered.
In a radio interview, Trapanese asserted that his circumstance “destroys stereotypes about fatherhood, religion, and family.”
It has long been challenging for gay or single parents to adopt children in Italy.
I was told that I’d only be given a child with an illness, a severe disability, or behavioral problems,” he told the BBC. “I was absolutely OK with that.”
Alba was just 13 days old when Luca adopted her in 2017 after 20 families had turned her down due to her health issues.
“She brought me happiness and a sense of fulfillment. I am proud to be her dad,” he said.
Luca has spent his entire life wanting to have children and has worked in a number of special needs facilities. He developed a strong passion for helping people after losing his best buddy to cancer when he was just 14 years old.
Through Catholic-affiliated charity, he assisted the terminally sick and the crippled in his spare time.
Alba now resides with him in a loving family despite the fact that he is single, as a result of his decision to move forward with the adoption.
Alba is a determined and somewhat rebellious little child, according to the BBC. She enjoys playing and dancing with others and is a sociable person.
“It was the first time I’d held a newborn baby. Before that moment, I had always been scared. But, when I first held Alba, I knew I was ready to be her dad,” he said. “I was overcome with joy. I felt she was my daughter straight away.”
Since Luca and Alba’s breathtaking romance first became viral online, a while has passed.
However, Luca’s more than 320k Instagram followers can still view the vacations and daily antics of his family.
They spend a lot of time simply hanging around and having a great time together.
Although the pandemic has altered their life, it is heartening to observe how they are cooperating with one another.
Together, they like traveling around Italy, being outside, painting, mingling, and enjoying delectable cuisine.
We convey our heartfelt congratulations to Luca and Alba! Luca is undoubtedly a kind and giving man, and because to him, this young girl has a bright future.
