Help For Women Looking For The Father(s) Of Their Kid(s)
Many women don't know where the father(s) of their children are, because they were abandoned by their lovers, partners or husbands once pregnant. They worked hard to raise their child or children alone but would love to show their children their father(s) but lose all trace of them. Some women don't have any clue of who might be the father of their child or children. We all know how this can happen: unprotected casual sex at drunk parties with boys or men we do not know, multipartner relationships or prostitutions that end up in pregnancies, sperm donations, etc... But this is the problem, listen to these kids from "Experience Project":
"Hi, I'm 15 years old and I don't know anything about my father..My mother never didn't mentioned him..When I was 11 I asked her who is he, but she didn't answer..I wanna ask her again but i don't feel comfortable when I talk about this subject..I have many questions..I even don't know if he knows that I'm existing.."
"I know where you are coming from. I never met my father. When I was 14 I was supposed to meet him, but he never showed. Ever since then my mother had refused to tell me. I am 23 years old and It took a lot of courage and strength to ask my mother. The biggest things is to make sure you re assure your mother you love her. I could tell it hurt my mom. She told me today what is name was and she told me that that's all she will tell me. I my self took it into my own hands to track him down in less than a day. And let me tell you right now, knowing who he is and that I can call him tomorrow is even more confusing than not knowing. If you need someone to talk to I would more than happy to help".
"I understand what you are going through. I'm 20 and my mom did the same and I want to ask but just don't feel comfortable yet but then I think about it again and it may never be comfortable to ask about him. So the next time my mom and I are alone, i'm just going to ask her. I'm too old not to be able to answer certain questions when I go to the doctor and just to know for myself. good luck and let me know if you ever need someone to chat with :)"
It is clear these kids are confused and don't know what to do. The above examples help us understand the statistics below. There is no question that children who grow up in fatherless homes have a much greater risk of major challenges in life than those who grow up with a father at home. These statistics are alarming and should give any father pause.
Incarceration Rates. "Young men who grow up in homes without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families...those boys whose fathers were absent from the household had double the odds of being incarcerated -- even when other factors such as race, income, parent education and urban residence were held constant." (Cynthia Harper of the University of Pennsylvania and Sara S. McLanahan of Princeton University cited in "Father Absence and Youth Incarceration." Journal of Research on Adolescence 14 (September 2004): 369-397.)
Suicide. 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below)
Behavioral Disorders. 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below)
High School Dropouts. 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below)
Educational Attainment. Kids living in single-parent homes or in step-families report lower educational expectations on the part of their parents, less parental monitoring of school work, and less overall social supervision than children from intact families. (N.M. Astore and S. McLanahan, American Sociological Review, No. 56 (1991)
Juvenile Detention Rates. 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below)
Confused Identities. Boys who grow up in father-absent homes are more likely that those in father-present homes to have trouble establishing appropriate sex roles and gender identity.(P.L. Adams, J.R. Milner, and N.A. Schrepf, Fatherless Children, New York, Wiley Press, 1984).
Aggression. In a longitudinal study of 1,197 fourth-grade students, researchers observed "greater levels of aggression in boys from mother-only households than from boys in mother-father households." (N. Vaden-Kierman, N. Ialongo, J. Pearson, and S. Kellam, "Household Family Structure and Children's Aggressive Behavior: A Longitudinal Study of Urban Elementary School Children," Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 23, no. 5 (1995).
Achievement. Children from low-income, two-parent families outperform students from high-income, single-parent homes. Almost twice as many high achievers come from two-parent homes as one-parent homes. (One-Parent Families and Their Children, Charles F. Kettering Foundation, 1990).
Delinquency. Only 13 percent of juvenile delinquents come from families in which the biological mother and father are married to each other. By contract, 33 percent have parents who are either divorced or separated and 44 percent have parents who were never married. (Wisconsin Dept. of Health and Social Services, April 1994).
Criminal Activity. The likelihood that a young male will engage in criminal activity doubles if he is raised without a father and triples if he lives in a neighborhood with a high concentration of single-parent families.
