their-- 7#a7 emotional well-being2  7#b7
 social well-being2  7#c7 educational   
success2 and  7#d7 economic well-being2 
,whereas children with present or       
engaged fathers are-- 7#a7 less likely  
to repeat a grade2  7#b7 more likely to 
enter college or find stable employment 
after high school2  7#c7 less likely to 
go to jail2  7#d7 less likely to        
experience a teen birth2 and  7#e7 less 

likely to experience mental health      
disorders2 ,whereas children without    
present or engaged fathers-- 7#a7       
represent the vast majority of runaway  
children2  7#b7 represent the vast      
majority of juveniles in ,state-operated
 institutions2  7#c7 are more likely to 
have children outside of marriage or    
partnership2  7#d7 are more likely to be
 involved in gangs2 and  7#e7 are much  
more likely to live in poverty2 and     
,whereas the genuine love of a father is
 irreplaceable1 and the positive        
outcomes generated by the love and      
support of a father prove both the      
irreplaceable role a father fills and   
the responsibility fathers have in      
caring for their children and families3 
,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the        
,senate-- 7#a7 acknowledges the         
importance of efforts by fathers to     
engage and to provide continuous        
physical and emotional support to       
children and families2  7#b7            
acknowledges that sustained engagement  

by a father throughout the life of a    
child is a privileged responsibility    
that fulfills the father as much as the 
child2 and  7#c7 wishes all fathers and 
father figures in the ,united ,states a 
happy ,father's ,day4
