Fatherless Children You Are Not Alone

Patricia E Adams Live

Happy Father's Day To All of the Responsible FathersTake the Presidential National Fatherhood Pledge Fathers Footprints - "Walk a little slower daddy," said a child so small. "I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me. Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be;Then I will have a little child Who'll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you." Special Guest Father Spotlight - Ken Thomas. Fatherlessness is a crisis in America, one that undergirds many of the challenges that families are facing. When dads aren't around, young people are more likely to drop out of school, use drugs, be involved in the criminal justice system, and become young parents themselves.President Obama grew up without his dad & said that being a father is the most important job he has. That's why he is joining dads from across the nation in a fatherhood pledge...that we'll do everything we can to be there for our children and for young people whose fathers are not around. www.fatherhood.gov Resources for Fathers Watch A Scripted Episode of An Absent Father
