please re-read the above coorespondence, I was responding to daredevel's post it was stated that men should have full custody if they can take care of the child.
My response was that there ARE men doing just that.
Except for my friend, whom happens to be deaf and "banged" as you would say, a hearing chick.
She told the court that he was deaf and mentally handicapped and could not care for a baby, then she disappeared.
He is perfectly capable and wants his son.
Point? There ARE nmen being declined their fatherhood rights who want to be dads, and then there are men who are being forced to accept fatherhood rights who do not want to be dads.
