Becoming a parent and feeling loved by our parents is what we often hope for in a family. But life can be unpredictable, as was the case for Alba.
Alba was abandoned by her mother when she was very young. Despite being taken in by twenty families, they all eventually turned her away. However, a ray of hope entered her life.
Luca Trapanese, a gay man from Italy, faced many challenges when he decided to adopt a child. Despite the obstacles he faced from society, he was eventually allowed to adopt a young girl. This girl happened to have Down syndrome, but Luca didn’t hesitate. They formed a strong bond that everyone could see.
Luca had been told he could only adopt a child with a serious illness, significant disability, or behavior issues. But any of those options would have made him happy.
Finally, when Alba was just 13 days old in 2017, Luca officially became her father. By then, twenty families had already said no to adopting her because of her physical condition. But for Luca, Alba brought him immense joy and fulfillment, and he was honored to be her father. He took his role as a father very seriously.
Becoming a father had been a long journey for Luca, even though he had experience working with special needs. It all started when his best friend died of cancer at 14, motivating Luca to help others. He now helps people through his work with a Catholic charity.
When the opportunity to adopt a young girl came up, Luca committed to being her father wholeheartedly, even though he didn’t have a partner or live with anyone. Alba is a lively girl who loves to sing and dance and is very outgoing.
Although Luca was scared the first time he held a newborn, he knew instantly that they belonged together. He shares updates about their adventures on Instagram, where he has hundreds of thousands of followers. Together, they survived the challenges of a pandemic and became stronger.
We wish Luca and Alba a long and happy life together, filled with love and joy.
“Quite Lacking in the Attractiveness Department,” Fans Divided After Finally Seeing Richard Gere’s Son
Richard Gere was present at the Cannes Film Festival alongside his wife Alejandra Silva and his 24-year-old son, Homer James Jigme Gere. Fans were captivated by Homer’s appearance, as the young man is very rarely seen in public.
Dressed in sharp black suits with matching bow ties and pristine white shirts, the father and son exuded elegance. Their joyful smiles and a heartfelt hug captured the attention of the cameras.
Online fans were astonished by Homer’s good looks. One user raved, “His eldest son is a cutie.” Another commented, “Beautiful guy!” A third remarked, “His son is gorgeous!”
That said, other fans still believed that the famous father looked better than the son. One observer wrote, ’’It seems like he inherited none of his father’s charm. [,,,] One might even question if they are truly related! Quite lacking in the attractiveness department, I must say.’’
Another remarked, ’’Beauty is a very subjective thing and I would say he looks nothing like his dad.’’
Homer, born in February 2000, was named after his paternal grandfather. This grandfather, who was Richard Gere’s father, lived until the age of 100 and passed away in 2023. Homer’s mother, Carey Lowell, is a model and actress who was Richard Gere’s second wife before they divorced.
Jane Fonda’s radiant and elegant appearance at Cannes 2024, at 86 years old, stunned fans. See the photos here.
