PROUD FAMILY

by Boris Modylevsky

Five Israeli families appear on this series of photographs. The parents of these families are from different origins: some of them were born in Israel, while others emigrated from different countries. There is a professional army contractor, a manager of a large bank, a doctor of science, a general manager of a factory and a psychiatrist. They live in the North and the South, in cities and towns, in typical flats and in cottages with a yard. They all have something in common: the parents are gay and lesbian, and are proud of what they are and the way they raise their children. They had to overcome a lot of difficulties on their journey to parenthood: child adoption from Guatemala, finding a surrogate mother, insemination or finding a man or a woman for shared parenting. All of this seems irrelevant while looking into the children's happy eyes...
