Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight?
Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight?: Confessions of a Gay Dad | Dan Bucatinsky
2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
In 2005, Dan Bucatinsky and his partner, Don Roos, found themselves in an L.A. delivery room, decked out in disposable scrubs from shower cap to booties, to welcome their adopted baby girllaunching their frantic yet memorable adventures into fatherhood. Two and a half years later, the same birth mothera heroically generous, pack-a-day teen with a passion for Bridezilla marathons and Mountain Dewdelivered a son into the couples arms. In Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight? Bucatinsky moves deftly from sidesplitting stories about where kids put their fingers to the realization that his athletic son might just grow up to be straight and finally to a reflection on losing his own father just as hes becoming one. Bucatinskys soul-baring and honest stories tap into that all-encompassing, and very human, hunger to be a parentand the life-changing and often ridiculous road to getting there.

This book is a memoir that tells the story of a gay male couple‘s path to parenthood. The author is an actor whom you may recognize from the TV series “Scandal.” This book is both frustrating and laugh out loud funny. One valuable lesson learned from this book: any interaction with a child that begins with “smell my finger” won‘t end well. Read the book to find out what I mean. Highly recommended!

Life looks like this chez nous these days: audiobooking while eating leftovers straight from the fridge as lunch while getting ready to go out as baby naps 😅 This parenting memoir was both hilarious and heavy (aging parents, birth moms in disconcerting circumstances). I'm not familiar with the author but still enjoyed hearing his story of becoming a gay dad and parenting two kids with his husband. #mommyreads #audiobook #parenting
