The Absence of Fathers and its Impact on Children My topic expounds on the issues surrounding single-parents, the absence of fathers and its impact on children. It also points out the influence that the sheer presence of an on-going biological and residential social father has on children. The argument presented here is that fathers’ presence (versus fathers’ absence) facilitates an environment of expectations and achievements wherein his children will be biased toward attaining a high school diploma. Regardless of whether or not absent fathers can be engaged in treatment, they must be a subject of inquiry in the therapist work with children.…

The laws that stop singles from being able to adopt are shrinking the pool of qualified adoptive parents, so less kids have the option of getting adopted.…
