Single Dad Adopts Girl with Down Syndrome

August 20, 2026

Twenty families turned down baby Alba after she was born with Down syndrome. Then Luca Trapanese, a single dad from Italy, met her and immediately knew she was his daughter.

He adopted Alba in 2017, and today she is 9 years old, growing up happy, loved, and surrounded by family.

A beautiful reminder that sometimes, love knows exactly where it belongs.
