Our idea of a family is to be born into a relationship with the parents where we are loved and wanted.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way and that includes how Alba came into the world. Unfortunately, the little baby was rejected by her mother. After that happened, another 20 families took her in but each of them ended up rejecting her as well. It was after that happened that things began to look up for her.

Luca Trapanese tried to adopt a little girl but he was hitting roadblocks one after another. As a homosexual male living in Italy, he had to deal with a lot of social issues that made it difficult to adopt babies.They decided to make an exception for him, and he was then able to adopt her. She was a girl with Down syndrome, and they did face challenges along the way, but all in all, they have been in a wonderful relationship that was shared with the world.When he went to adopt a baby, he was told that he would only be given a child with an illness, a severe disability, or behavioral problems. Little did they know that he would be perfectly fine with any of those options.The adoption took place in 2017 when she was 13 days old. Up until that time, 20 families had already turned down the option of adopting her because of her medical condition.As far as Luca was concerned, however, she brought him a sense of fulfillment and much happiness and he was proud to be her father.
