DALILA DI LAZZARO, PREGNANT AT 62, CLAIMS TO HAVE LOST HER BABY

Drama for Dalila Di Lazzaro who in recent days has decided to make public the sad story of which she has been the protagonist in recent months: at the age of 62 in fact, the actress became pregnant thanks to assisted fertilization but last June she lost the child. A tragic event that weighs heavily on the already troubled past of the "interpreter who in" 91 lost his son Christian, only 22 years old, who was the victim of a car accident. This is a confession that the actress makes with an open heart, not hiding the pain of a woman who all her life has tried in vain to fill the void left by a devastating loss.

"Then I thought it was wiser to adopt a child in need of care than to try to have another", says Dalila, referring to her initial choice to adopt a child after the tragedy, a choice made impossible by bureaucracy and by Italian law itself, as she herself explains: "But I was single or otherwise not married. My motto was and is" It is harder to find the right man to have a child than to love a child in need. A child is forever. It is true love. " So I began my battle for "single adoption ... In Italy, however, it is almost impossible to overcome some preconceptions. There are too many selfishnesses. And the good of an abandoned child has not managed to overcome conformity", so, after lost battles, the actress recently decided to go down the path of assisted fertilization, despite her advanced age: "I had been thinking about it for some time but I had been too sick for such an effort. As soon as I felt better, I proposed it to my partner who was happy to help me. But I lived this thing in secret, on the sly. "The doctors told me immediately that it was a risky step. I wanted to try this too. With a lot of effort, of course. For a woman having children is the most natural thing, indeed it is her privilege". In recent days, however, Dalila has decided to tell the press about her personal story, revealing that she lost her child last June: "Too much pain. I will not make another attempt. I would definitely prefer to adopt ... Why does a woman have to undergo such tests when there are already born babies who need a mother? Do you understand injustice? The blood bond does not matter when there is love to give. A woman immediately loves the child entrusted to her. It's natural. And if she is alone, she will raise him like thousands of single or separated mothers do. " This is a decidedly thorny question, which opens a debate on a rather complex and delicate topic, often a source of diatribes on rights, legitimate or otherwise, limits and ethical problems.
