Way back in the 1990s, it was nearly impossible, and unheard of, for gay men to be parents, let alone to have their own biological children. But for me, ever since I was a boy, I knew that I wanted to be a dad. I knew that my path would be an uphill one.

After wishing and fantasizing, I decided that I would have to create my own version of family, even though I wasn’t quite sure what that would look like. I spent years changing careers, changing my lifestyle, and changing the minds of those around me. Neither surrogacy nor adoption felt right to me. I wanted a biological child. One by one, my options seemed to vanish. But the seemingly never-ending rejections only invigorated me to continue pursuing what I wanted, not what I was told to settle for.

After wading through awkward conversation and inelegant requests, I found the woman who would be the mother of my child. She, a single, straight woman, and me, a partnered gay man, together we forged a new path to parenthood. We created our own definition of ‘family’ amid differences in outlooks and parenting styles. Our new parenting paradigm needed to work – for the sake of our daughter’s health and happiness.

This story is one of willpower and grit. Strength of mind and strength of character. Belief in oneself. Life for any of us… all of us… deposits before us trials, tribulations, ups and downs. Conflicts between ourselves and those we love. Yet there comes that crucial moment when we have to decide: what am I going to do? For me, it was listening to my inner voice, following my inner strength, and doggedly chasing my dream: my dream of fatherhood.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for all types of people
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This is a memoir about one man's unconventional and pioneering journey to becoming a father. It completely kept my interest, and I did not want to put it down. As a cisgender heterosexual female with zero fertility difficulties who became a parent in the most conventional of ways, I was completely riveted and moved by the author's experience and struggle, and many times I had to put the book down and cry as I was driven to reflect upon the remarkable beauty of my everyday life experience as a parent. My kids are young, and to them it is no big deal that their peers come from families of all different types, but they were intrigued when they saw their mommy engrossed in this book, and they asked so many questions that led to some incredible discussions about how the world has changed over the past generation. I really enjoyed this book and I am so glad I read it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Testament to perseverance and love
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024
    Aizic’s book is a heartfelt and inspiring memoir that captures the essence of determination and love in a non-traditional family. With frank honesty, Aizic takes the reader on an emotional trip through the many challenges and triumphs he faced in pursuing his dream of becoming a father.

    What sets this book apart is its authenticity. Aizic shares his experiences with raw vulnerability, offering his insights into the difficulties of non-traditional paths to parenthood. His journey is deeply personal, yet it resonates with anyone who has ever chased a seemingly impossible dream.

    Aizic’s story will leave you inspired, uplifted, and reminded of the incredible things each of us can achieve when we follow our hearts and our dreams. A must-read for anyone seeking a story of hope, courage, and love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read and Important Lessons Shared
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
    For a man who is, “extremely selective to whom he reveals his feelings “ Aizic writes a revealing sweet story that uniquely his. He talks about his coming of age, coming to terms with his sexuality, and displaying the tremendous patience and humanity required to navigate relationships with parents, spouse, and the obstacles to accomplish his ultimate desire to experience the joy and challenge of fatherhood.

    Our parents don’t teach us everything we need to know about being grown-up. My Dream of Fatherhood is an eye-opening and enjoyable fast read which describes one man’s journey navigating his unique life. It shares lessons that go beyond the categories this book will be cataloged with.
