The story of this cute family of two started when little Alba, who was just 13 days old back then, was rejected by 20 adoptive families.
The decision made by all these people not to embrace the special little girl turned lucky for the 41-year-old Italian Luca Trapanese.
When he filled in the adoption papers, Luca didn’t really believe the social services would allow him to become the legal father of Alba as in the country where he is from it is not common for single, homosexual man to be granted custody.
But, as all those families didn’t want to adopt a child with Down Syndrome, and Luca was more than happy to have such child in his life, he took Alba in and became her legal daddy.
The moment he welcomed sweet Alba into his life, he became the happiest person on Earth. Speaking of his daughter and his case, he said it was very special because it “destroys stereotypes about fatherhood, religion and family.”
The journey of these father and daughter started back in 2017 and they are stealing the hearts of many ever since.
Luka has a heart of gold. He has been part of many social service programs throughout the years and volunteered at various organizations who help people with special needs find their place in the society. Among the rest, he was part of the foundation “A Ruota Libera” which provided assistance for children with Down Syndrome.
This was one of the reasons why Luca wanted to adopt a child with Down Syndrom despite not having a partner.

Finalizing the adoption was a difficult process as adoption agencies prefer “traditional” families over the non-conventional ones.
“For me, a disabled child is not a second choice solution, but a conscious choice with respect to my vocation and my abilities,” Luca said.
Alba is a happy child with a vibrant personality. She loves being around people and enjoys playing and dancing.
We are so glad that the perception of people with Down Syndrome is changing and they are considered valuable part of the society.
As for Luca and Alba, we wish them all the best that life can bring!
Demanding Parents Expect Nanny to Pay $1000 for Vacation Flights, Their Harsh Reality Check
Jane’s employers planned a lavish vacation and invited her along to care for their children, promising to cover all expenses. However, upon returning home, they unexpectedly demanded that she pay back the $1,000 for her plane ticket. Jane was taken aback but refused to accept this situation.
One day, Mrs. Smith called Jane into the living room. While tidying up the playroom, Jane felt uneasy about the request. Mrs. Smith, composed and stylish, informed Jane they needed to discuss the vacation expenses. Jane acknowledged the lovely trip but was shocked when Mrs. Smith demanded repayment for the tickets. She couldn’t believe her ears when Mrs. Smith insisted she pay back the money they had initially said would be covered.
Overwhelmed, Jane explained that she couldn’t afford it, as most of her salary went toward rent and her mother’s medical needs. Mr. Smith, uninterested in her situation, confirmed that Jane had one week to pay or the amount would be deducted from her wages.
That evening, Jane was furious. She realized the Smiths valued their reputation more than anything else and decided to use that against them. She created a fake email account and wrote a polite message detailing her experience, leaving enough clues to point back to the Smiths. She sent the email to influential people in their social circle.
Soon, rumors began to spread, damaging the Smiths’ reputation. Jane overheard Mrs. Smith discussing the situation, revealing her distress. At the school pick-up, other nannies asked Jane if the gossip was true, and she confirmed that the Smiths were indeed unkind.
Days later, Mrs. Smith hosted a ladies’ luncheon. Jane attended, knowing it was an opportunity to share more about Mrs. Smith’s behavior. While mingling, she complimented Mrs. Smith’s handbag, hinting at her tendency to borrow and never return items. This sparked more whispers among the guests.
The next day, Mrs. Smith’s friends began demanding their belongings back. Upset, Mrs. Smith confronted Jane during dinner, suspecting her involvement in the email. When Mr. Smith questioned her directly, Jane remained silent, leading to her dismissal.
After moving back home, Jane received a call from Mrs. Johnson, who had heard about her situation and offered her a job with better pay and conditions. Grateful and relieved, Jane accepted the offer. She hoped the Smiths felt the sting of betrayal for their treatment of her.
