A Memoir of Love, Identity, and Becoming a Parent Against the Odds
In My Dream of Fatherhood, psychotherapist and educator Rami Aizic shares the deeply personal story of how he became a single gay father. With candor, vulnerability, and insight, Aizic invites readers into the journey he once thought impossible—one shaped by childhood longing, cultural silence, resilience, and ultimately, joy.
From growing up in a conservative Israeli community to navigating the complexities of coming out and building a family on his own terms, Aizic’s memoir is as emotionally rich as it is socially relevant. His path to fatherhood, made possible through open adoption in the United States, defies outdated narratives about who gets to be a parent and how.
Part personal reflection, part cultural meditation, My Dream of Fatherhood explores how identity, love, and chosen family intersect in modern queer parenthood.
One man’s journey to fatherhood in the face of cultural and societal resistance.
Honest reflections on the emotional, logistical, and spiritual dimensions of open adoption.
A celebration of nontraditional family structures, intentional parenting, and queer joy.
“A heartfelt, necessary story that expands our definition of family.”
 “Rami’s voice is honest and inspiring, a gift to queer parents and allies alike.”
“An emotional, healing read that speaks to anyone who’s ever dared to dream of more.”
