Invited to "Rudina" in November 2018, Arben Ristani spoke about the adoption of Thomas in 2014. He said that together with his wife they decided to adopt a child.

"If you give love to everyone...we keep animals at home and the moment you transmit love, the animal is also close. No longer a person, a child to whom it is enough to transmit love and build the necessary relationship. Then the rest must be built and it must be true," he said at the time.

"On the way to New York, these boys and girls stopped me for a noble mission: to adopt a child from afar. And I did it with great pleasure, even though I don't know that child. But, I know that there are millions of children who need a very small contribution from us, but (which is) a miracle for them. So, one less coffee a day to dedicate to an unfortunate child," he wrote.

VIPs who wanted to adopt, but for various reasons did not:

Iva Tico

Iva said that she once considered adoption, but "didn't go through with it."

"I once [thought about adoption], when I held an abandoned child in my arms. I think about it from time to time, but to be honest, I can't stand it, it seems like a huge responsibility. It's not enough to just have the desire, neither to give birth nor to adopt. Maybe that's why things like this become second nature. That's why I have special admiration for all those women who, for various reasons, raise children alone. They are my heroines," she wrote in a question and answer column on Instagram.

Najada Elmazi

The actress said in an interview with "Pro Art" on Channel One that her family did not allow her to adopt a child. "They did not support me and the reason was prejudice. It is not your child [they told me]. I do not want to mention the prejudices because they are still taboo," she said, adding that her career was also a reason.

Klodiana Shala

Klodiana, invited to "Opinion", said that she wanted to adopt a child, but the biological mother refused.

"I had a 20-year career. Unable to have a child, I truly dedicated myself to my career. I went to the "Children's Home" to adopt a child, right at the time when I was in my career. The child was 6 months old, as if I had given birth to him; with blue eyes, wonderful. I wanted to adopt him at that time," Shala said at the time.

In fact, fortunately, adoption is no longer such a big taboo in our country, on the contrary, it is a noble gesture, which changes the life of a couple and the child who is adopted. Many people, who have or do not have the opportunity to become parents, have chosen this opportunity and it is one of the most beautiful and human things.

Inspirational stories are everywhere, in VIPs, people we know and perhaps even in our own thoughts. Having a child doesn't just mean giving birth to it and having it have your DNA, but raising it, creating a beautiful connection, even without leaving your body. After all, parenting is not a matter of biology, but of love!/Anabel.al
