Fathers And Feelings

Though mothers have been studied with greater frequency than fathers, we have every reason to believe that exiled fathers suffer lifelong effects as well. My organization has received a multitude of requests from fathers seeking to fight or overturn the adoptions of their children. These men appear to be as distressed as their female counterparts over their experiences. Fathers should not be afraid to seek help and speak out about the treatment they received at the hands of the adoption industry. You can support a grieving father as you would a grieving mother, by acknowledging his parenthood and respecting the fact that he has experienced a true and tragic loss.
