After being rejected by her mother and 20 families, Alba, a newborn with Down syndrome, found a loving father in Luca Trapanese, a 41-year-old single gay man from Italy. Defying societal norms and adoption barriers, Luca embraced parenthood, saying, “She brought me happiness and a sense of fulfillment. I am proud to be her dad.”
With years of experience supporting people with disabilities, Luca was ready for the challenge, adopting Alba at just 13 days old. Their bond was instant, and their life together is filled with love, adventures, and joy.
Luca shares their inspiring story through social media and his book, challenging stereotypes about family and fatherhood. Congratulations to Luca and Alba on their beautiful journey!
