This post is a continuation of our explanation of “Women Speak” here.
Just as Mommy is a vital part of any child’s life, a woman’s perspective is a vital part of American Daddy. I would love for all the Mommys out there to share their thoughts on The American Dad and how they and their Daddy are making a difference.
Please leave a comment below to let me know
Thanks.

Hey Friends,
American Daddy, A Father’s Heart Revealed continues to get strong media attention. Gilbert Bernal, one of the dads featured in American Daddy, was chosen to be on the cover of the June issue of LA Parent Magazine featured below:
A story on American Daddy, A Father’s Heart Revealed can also be found within the LA Parent pages. You can pick up a copy of LA Parent Magazine all throughout the L.A. area.
Jennie McCarthy was on last month’s cover so this is quite the accomplishment to be chosen and this is the 1st time, in many, many years that LA Parent is having a black & white cover.
Father’s are getting recognized for the amazing job they are doing. Keep up the great work dads!
I had the wonderful opportunity to share my story and provide helpful touchpoints geared toward single dads in the latest issue of Advance Magazine.
Being a single dad was one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had. It was easy for me to share from my heart because that was so much of who I was. I have provided the link below so that you can check it out:
REFLECTIONS OF A SINGLE FATHER:

If you are out there and a single father I commend you! I know that the task at hand is not an easy one. But I encourage you to keep doing all that you can to get as much time with your kids and to be in their lives. Check out the article and let me know what you think. And, please add any tips that you may have for all of the single dads out there.
Thanks again!

Great story to share…my son Julian’s mom calls me to tell me about a moment they had in the elevator of thier downtown L.A. loft. As they were riding up to their floor there was a lady carrying a bunch of bags. My son noticed the volume of bags and said to his mom…”She probablly could use some help. I bet that my wagon would do the trick!”
When Julian and his mom arrived at their unit, Julian begins to share his new business idea. He is going to post a notice in the lobby and will let people know that if they have bags when coming home they can call him and he will come down to the lobby, with his wagon, and help them. And, for only $5 bucks! What a deal, eh?
When Julian’s mom called me I was so excited about the story and how my son, so quickly, saw a need and came up with a solution. The cool thing for me is that when Julian is with me he and I always have this entrepenurial conversations. He is always coming up with fantastic ideas and I just try to nurture his thought process. Some of his ideas are so crazy and off the wall but I just smile and say “Yes!!! Wonderful idea!”
Let us all take the time to see our children and “listen” to what they are saying. Let us take the time to celebrate their ideas, gifts and talents and begin to nurture them.
I guess that the bigger picture here is that my son will see needs of people and try to meet those needs as he grows older. What is it that your kids are dreaming about. How are you supporting and nurturing those dreams and ideas.
Please share some of your thoughts and stories!
Nine years ago I had walked through an unexpected divorce, which left me deeply wounded, and with the ever-present feelings that I was a failure. Many nights I had laid in a fetal position weeping from the deepest parts of my being, crying out to God not understanding what had happened and asking “why?” I thought that things would be different for me and that I would break the chain of divorce that flowed through my family history. I was completely wrong to think that I would be shielded from such heartbreak and the event made me feel as though I had just lost everything. Something happens to a man when he is stripped to the core of who he is. Any masks that I wore to cover parts of who I was were no longer available to me. I felt alone!
To add to the mix I had a baby boy of only six months old and without a model of fathering growing up, I was scared and wondered how I was going to take care of this precious little boy. It literally broke my heart thinking that my son would grow up in a divorced home and experience the separation that I had experienced as a young boy. (more…)
