Parenting is tough.  Adoptive parenting is tougher.  And adoptive parenting for a gay couple carries its own built-in challenges…and joys.

In his new book, Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight? Confessions of a Gay Dad, actor/producer and author Dan Bucatinsky writes with warmth, humor and raw honesty about his journey as a gay parent.

After realizing they’re ready to adopt, Dan and his husband, Don, start meeting with prospective birth moms.  The ensuing emotional roller coaster that leads them to fatherhood is just the beginning.

After the births of their two children, Dan and Don get treated to parental power struggles, family vacations gone awry, reading-comprehension exercises…and moments of sheer wonder, courtesy of daughter Eliza and son Jonah.

Dan will be in the Authors’ Lounge, signing copies of his book, at San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival, Sunday, October 14th at noon on the Pasadena City College Campus.   SGV Pride invites you to come and meet him.  But, please, get there early.  After all, Dan is a dad–he has commitments later that afternoon.
