导读

卢卡·特拉帕尼斯（Luca Trapanese）是一个意大利单身男士，他因曾从事过与特殊需求孩子相关的工作，所以决定要领养一个残疾儿童。最终，他收养了唐氏综合症患儿Alba (阿尔巴)，他俩成了幸福的一家人。

 

In Italy, it is extremely difficult for single people to adopt. In the rare instances where they do get approved, they are typically asked to take in a child with a disability. Luca Trapanese is one of these parents, but he wants to make it clear that his daughter was never a “second-class choice”. Alba, a precious little girl with Down syndrome(唐氏综合症), was left at the hospital when she was born in 2017. Twenty people turned down the chance to adopt her, but Luca was excited to have the opportunity. In fact, his goal was always to father a child with special needs。

Even if he had registered for adoption with a partner, he said he still would have wanted a child with a disability. He grew up working with kids with special needs, so he knew he was ready to shower another one with all the love in the world. His relationship with Alba certainly proves that. These days, the two of them are the best of buddies. There is so much love between them that you can feel it just by looking at their faces with a big smile。
