Francesca and Gianluca live in Livorno and they have been waiting for three years to bring the child they are adopting home to Italy. His name is Mattia and when they received the green passport from China, or the green light for the combination in adoption, he was 16 months old. Today he is 3 years old in August and Francesca and Gianluca have never met him. They never celebrated a birthday with him. In Italy there is a bedroom ready to welcome him, with toys and soft toys of all shapes, where Mattia has never entered.
The covid has blocked the international adoptions of thousands of families. “Our stories are similar to each other: a life project, two eyes that just seen in a photo made us fall in love, then Covid, fear and pain mixed with disbelief for not having reached a solution yet”.
Last summer, when the infections had greatly decreased, Francesca and Gianluca hoped to be able to leave but they were not allowed by the authorities. This year, despite both being vaccinated, they continue to be unable to reach the country where their little Mattia is waiting for them. “According to China, the adoption can only be completed when the pandemic is fully overcome”, explained Francesca. «But the entrepreneurs go there, the Olympics will be there. We are vaccinated, how long will we still have to wait? ».
With the green passport, China and Italy should cooperate to complete the international adoption process initiated by the family. “At this point we ask, once again, that politics listen to us and allow us to unblock this absurd situation. I fall asleep every night thinking of my son, of the distance between us, of the fact that he is on the side of the world and there is nothing I can do to protect him. When will all this end? ».
