The world is full of people who need help, and, fortunately, of those who seek to help others. Call it luck or fate, sometimes these 2 types of people meet. As if that weren’t enough, such encounters can form the strongest bonds, as in the case of Luca Trapanese, who adopted Alba and managed to change their life completely.

The future father had to overcome many hurdles at the beginning.

It seems as if Luca and Alba’s first meeting was a matter of fate. Luca had just gotten out of a serious relationship with his boyfriend and Alba was given up for adoption by her biological mother. By the time of their meeting, the little girl had already been rejected by 20 adoptive families. In July 2017, Luca came to her rescue.

The two of them are truly inseparable. Luca had been dreaming of becoming a father for a long time, but being gay and single seemed to be quite a challenge when it came to adoption. Surrogacy is not an option in Italy and gay fathers are not registered as co-parents on birth certificates.

Luca was informed that he could only adopt a child with a disability or serious illness. He didn’t care about that at all.

Luca was meant to be Alba’s dad.

There are so many touching posts on Luca’s Instagram that show that the 45-year-old’s life revolves around his beloved princess. “I’m a single dad in love with his daughter,” he wrote on his profile.

Alba is now 4 years old and her life with her dad has been filled with incredible moments. Luca accepts fatherhood as his role in life. “I’m meant to be a father!” he says when interviewed. He loves devoting himself to his daughter and her development. Alba is now his main priority.

Their life is anything but boring.
