When the legal situation in Italy changed in 2017, Luca Trapanese's lifelong wish came true and he adopted a child.
We are currently receiving some inquiries about an article about a “gay single dad who is said to have adopted a girl with Down syndrome”. This is about the following post:

Single Gay Dad Adopts Girl With Down Syndrome Previously Rejected By 20 Families
The fact check
Yes, that's right! At the beginning of January 2019, the media literally pounced on the story of the Italian Luca Trapanese, who adopted little Alba. Because Luca Trapanese is Catholic, single, gay and decided to adopt a child with Down syndrome.

The girl was given up for adoption by her birth mother shortly after her birth. In the summer of 2017, the man who lives near the city of Naples held Alba in his arms for the first time.
Over twenty families had rejected the child before Trapanese decided to take her in.
Trapanese has been working with people with disabilities for almost 20 years. At the beginning of 2017, the legal situation in the country also changed and he submitted his adoption application.
“I was told that I would only have a child with 'problems'. So either with an illness, a severe disability or behavioral problems – or a child who has been rejected by traditional families.”

He finally adopted Alba in July 2017.
“When I held her in my arms for the first time, I was overcome with pure joy. I felt from the beginning that she was my daughter.”
Conclusion:
Yes, this man gave the little girl a home. Almost exactly a year ago, her story was across a wide range of media, and we're now going out on a limb and saying that the world needs a lot more people who are capable of loving unconditionally.
