Luca was born in September 2012 with complex heart disease. His referral file mentions: dextrocardia, complete TGA, ASD, right aortic arch, bidirectional atrial shunt, tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension. His file does not indicate that he has received any surgical interventions.
While this certainly is a medical mouthful – it does not define this treasure. He is smart, spunky, loving and full of joy, despite all his trials.
Yes, this diagnosis is scary. Yes, his short term, medium term and long term are uncertain.
One thing is certain though — he needs a family. He deserves a family to give him a chance at life and a chance at love. He needs the hope that a family can bring into his heart. No child should ever live on this earth without hearing the words “I love you and you are mine.”
Luca’s file is on the Shared List, where he has waited and waited for his chance for hope. He will most certainly qualify for a medical expedite. Any agency will be able to lock this child’s file for any interested family, however a family with paperwork in China is preferred, as he needs someone to run to him as quickly as possible.
Questions about him or his condition can be sent to Meredith.
