Synopsis: 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 girl--launching their frantic yet memorable adventures into fatherhood. Two and a half years later, the same birth mother--a heroically generous, pack-a-day teen with a passion for Bridezilla marathons and Mountain Dew--delivered a son into the couple's 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 he's becoming one. Bucatinsky's soul-baring and honest stories tap into that all-encompassing, and very human, hunger to be a parent--and the life-changing and often ridiculous road to getting there.his dawning realization that every single aspect of his life has been impacted by having children and strike the universal chords of child rearing, marriage, family, and growing older. Soul-bearing and honest, they pierce the boundaries of gender and sexual orientation while still managing to stay rooted to the heart of his story: the hunger to be a parent--and the life-changing road to becoming one.
