Robert and Rob EQUAL parenting bike trek!

As much as my blog is called "For Fair Child Support" there's an significant part of the issue I missed when I named this thing. The biggest part of being a responsible parent is someone who is part of the child's life.

It seems to be far to frequent that a father is disregarded in the pursuit of equal standing in the role of parent. This said, it's nice to see that there are people willing to do something about it.

If you're in the Washington D.C. area on August 18th there will be a rally (www.dcrally2007.com) in support of equal but leading up to this rally there are two fathers who are going over and above to raise the awareness of this problem. On August 11th 2007 Robert Pedersen and Rob Mackenzie, supporting A Child's Right, will start their over 600 mile bicycle trek from the Lansing Capitol to Washington, D.C., riding through many states help this become a more visible issue.

globeandmail.com: A white man struggles to reclaim his children: "He always thought of himself as a doting father, a man who read bedtime stories to his two children every night before tucking them under the covers, who would delight in wrapping his arms around them in a bear hug. If not the picture-perfect father, he figured he was close enough."

An interesting read.

A Surprise from the FRO.

Apparently my note to the Minister made it through and they figured out who I was (specifically) and have assigned me a new case-worker. She even gave me her direct line (which I am not sharing, sorry).

We talked about my recommendations and we'll see if they get anywhere but there's a ray of hope.

I'll keep you posted.
