Today Carolina Marconi is well and wants to go back to fulfilling the dream of motherhood that pushed her and her partner Alessandro Tulli to begin the process of fertilization. “Before waiting, I thought why not adopt a child,” said the showgirl in Silvia Toffanin’s living room. «Alessandro and I went to the social worker and we discovered that we cannot adopt a child, because I had a tumor, I have to wait five years, you cannot ask for a mortgage, an insurance, a loan. There is some discrimination. We need to protect a child, but who says we protect him like this? Do we protect him by leaving him in the family home? ».

Carolina Marconi’s outburst is that of hundreds and hundreds of other people who suffer the same situation in Italy. As she had told Vanity Fair, Marilena Alvino. “She is not in my plans at the moment but if I wanted to adopt a child I could not do it for two reasons: I am single and I am a former cancer patient. For the state, I’m not even eligible to take out a mortgage to buy a house“. There are over 900 thousand people in Italy who have recovered from a tumor and can be found to live difficulty in accessing some servicessuch as applying for mortgages and loans, taking out insurance and adopting children.

In Europe: France, Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium and Portugal have enacted the law for the right to be forgotten oncology, to guarantee these people the right not to declare information about their illness, which at the moment in Italy is mandatory for the stipulation of many contracts and the request for some services. Here: all the info to support the collection of signatures.
