Abstract

Om mensen met aids te helpen hun pijn te bestrijden, worden ze bijgestaan door buddy's. Streng geselecteerde, goed opgeleide vrijwilligers die praktische, emoitonele en sociale ondersteuning geven aan mensen met aids. Die buddy's worden vaak letterlijk en figuurlijk vrienden voor het leven van mensen met aids. Ze hebben elk hun verhaal. Elf buddy's bundelden hun getuigenissen. Elf buddy's schreven over hun begeleiding en gaven het verhaal vrij dat ze met zich meedragen. Het zijn open en eerlijke getuigenissen geworden. Verhalen over verbondenheid en afstand, kracht en machteloosheid, vreugde en intens verdriet, hoop en wanhoop, gevechten met eigen grenzen, waarden en normen.

Abstract

What do two nice Jewish girls do when they want to start a family? They can marry two nice Jewish boys, or, if they happen to be lesbians, they can buy sperm online from California! Buying Dad is a hilarious, edgy, first-person chronicle of a year in the life of a woman engaged in a very alternative family-planning experience. Peeling back the layers of self-indulgence accumulated in 30-odd years as a self-proclaimed gay, childless, albeit happy neurotic, Harlyn Aizley takes the reader on one of the most personal, intimate and utterly female journeys any woman, gay or straight, can make-that of becoming a mother. Aizley's story begins with the search for sperm-known or unknown donor? Delivered on dry ice or in a nitrogen tank? The journey unfolds within the context of her relationship with her female partner, her mother's cancer diagnosis, the threat of her own possible infertility and finally pregnancy itself. Aizley's wry voice and candid prose embrace this confluence of major life events with the humor and wisdom that make Buying Dad accessible to any woman who ever considered ending a lifetime of sleep-filled nights by beginning a lifetime of motherhood.
