The Fathering Forum is a place where Fathers go to be better Dads. It's that simple. We recognize that "Father" is a legal and biological term. But being a Dad is something else entirely. It is an embracing of the responsibilities of Fatherhood and an acknowledgment that we are fathers to all children, not just our own. The members of the Fathering Forum do not pretend to be experts; we are a growing grassroots team of men from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, opinions, beliefs, re …
