“It forces us to rethink our position in terms of the configuration of the family when we reflect on 9/11, as responsible fathers went to work to ensure that their families had economic well-being, only to be interrupted in terms of their life and being unable to go back. So when we talk about fatherhood and partnerships and responsible fatherhood, we do consider that there are circumstances beyond the control of the biological father which would propel us into action to ensure that children do, in fact, have a connection with a responsible fatherhood figure, if you will, in their lives.”
