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.
I Wanted to Teach My Husband a Lesson for Cheating on Me, but Life Punished Me Instead
Bethany’s perfect life shatters when she discovers a love note hidden in her husband’s jacket, hinting at his infidelity. Devastated and consumed by betrayal, she spirals into a quest for revenge that may destroy the very family she cherishes.
My name is Bethany, and I had everything a woman could ask for: a devoted husband, Noah, and two wonderful kids, Darcy and Jake. Every morning, I’d wake up feeling blessed, thinking, “This is it. I’ve made it.”
Until one mistake destroyed everything.
It was a Friday afternoon, and I was doing one of those deep cleans where you end up finding all sorts of forgotten treasures and junk. I was sorting through Noah’s jackets, wondering how one man could need so many, when I felt something crinkle in the pocket.
Curious, I pulled out a folded piece of paper, thinking it was an old receipt or a shopping list.
I unfolded the note, and my heart stopped. The words blurred as my mind tried to make sense of them.
“I will never forget Friday night. You were the best! I love you! I hope you will still divorce her and we will have the children we dream of!”
My hands shook. My first thought was denial. No, this couldn’t be true. Noah had said he was working late that Friday. He even brought home a project he was supposedly working on.
