"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." Sigmund Freud

Yet for 210 million children, this need will never be met. These children are orphans. A father is a dream. Big hands to hold and comfort, a deep voice to soothe fears and worries, fishing trips and little league are in the realm of imagination.

Those who never find a home and never know a father face hurdles and burdens that no child should bare. In many countries these children will have a life-long stigma attached to being an orphan. They will not only miss out on the warmth and acceptance of a family life, but they will not get the education or job training to enable them to find success in their adult life. Many of them will be turned out of their orphanage at the age of 16 to live on the streets, turning to drugs or prostitution for a basic livelihood.

Just as heart-wrenching are the men and women out there who are childless and dream of taking a son camping or watching a daughter's ballet recital. Many warm, loving families want to bring these wonderful kids into their homes. Many try a lifetime to have a child. Some turn to adoption only to find out that the average cost of $20,000 is an unexpected hurdle. Sometimes it is enough of a hurdle to prevent them from adopting at all.

There are nonprofit organizations willing to help with these adoption expenses. A Child's Desire, Inc. is one of these organizations. A Child's Desire is 100% volunteer based and 100% of Father's Day donations go to adoption grants. Consider making a donation in your father's name for Father's Day this year.

Let us remember the men who long to be fathers this Father's Day and the children who need these men. As you take your father out for dinner or accept a play-dough ashtray from your preschool son, give a moment of thought to the children waiting in orphanages for a chance to experience one of these moments.

Even if you are unable to adopt a child yourself you can still make a difference by volunteering your time or through making a donation, which will enable another family to overcome the hurdles of adoption.

All children deserve a father's love. Don't make a lonely child wait, together we can make his dreams come true.
