  • Men are abandoning their children in record numbers all over the world. This is the best evidence of male desertion of their responsibility. Men's Rights is a farce. They don't want the child they want to attack MOMMY. IT TAKES THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO EVOLVE and men are NOT THERE yet as is proven by their actions in these cases. DNA does not a father make. Men are attacking MOMS because they now have evidence of parentage they can't just say she's a liar.

  • My two daughters are no able to have children. They are both successful on their own, but their husbands are successful as well. My oldest daughter and her husband have been going through the adoption process for 8 years. No adoption yet. Is there a chance to adopt these babies; and who should be contacted?

  • Social services are interested, because there is no money/funds to generate from such a situation. Israeli fathers are persecuted by gender biais laws to remove them from their children. If you need help, ask these fathers. It will benefit both the baby and the father.

  • I cried .

  • Incredible people. Incredible organization.

  • Wonderful woman and I hope babies find loving families to take care if them

  • Awwww, what amazing women. Not one sweet baby should suffer because no one is loving them.

  • That is such an amazing video, and inspirational organization!

  • Not one comment? This organization is so unique and so wonderful. These people are doing such wonders for these little ones.
