Be There. Pinky Swear.

Children need engaged fathers in their lives, but too many dads sit on the sidelines, or choose to not show up at all. The result is devastating. Kids who grow up in fatherless homes are more likely to face greater rates of poverty, abuse drugs and alcohol, end up in jail and more. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can improve your kids' odds by just being there and being the man they need you to be. Dads: Add this image to your profile picture as a way to promise to be there and play an active role in the lives of your children. Moms: Add this image to your profile picture to support the father of your children as he strives to play an active role in the lives of your children. It's never too late to promise your children to be there. Pinky swear.
