Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate

HOUSTON – One recent day at Dr. Natalie Carroll's OB-GYN practice, located inside a low-income apartment complex tucked between a gas station and a freeway, 12 pregnant black women come for consultations. Some bring their children or their mothers. Only one brings a husband.
Things move slowly here. Women sit shoulder-to-shoulder in the narrow waiting room, sometimes for more than an hour. Carroll does not rush her mothers in and out. She wants her babies born as healthy as possible, so Carroll spends time talking to the mothers about how they should care for themselves, what she expects them to do — and why they need to get married. the rest

There is such a shortage of loving, mature, committed, dedicated Godly fathers - in every population group.
We have generations who have not known a father's (or mother's) love...nor known The Father's Love.
May the Lord pour out the desire for the Church to train and raise up and be fathers to the fatherless and motherless. God means the Church to be the place of unlearning what is evil and re-learning what is good, a place of nurture, discipline, forbearance, kindness, etc. that conveys, bestows His Holy Love, Truth and Life. (Psalm 27:10, Isaiah 66)
