And some ppl would say that's a reflection on you because you can't get a *decent* girl.. But hang out with men who've fathered kids and bailed and there is no stigma.

I don't think Americans are better, but I do think the causes are the same, esp with teens.
Ok, you arrogant people who always think that Americans are better or smarter. Here's reality... African-American Single Mother Rate is 68%! Latina Single Mother Rate in the U.S. is 43% and 26% of white women are single mothers. 62% of women from 20 to 24 in the United States are single mothers. So get a life and go solve the problems in your own country instead of always acting like we're the only ones with problems. Do we have problems? Yes, and a lot. Do you have problems in your countries? Yes, a lot. What's the difference? You left your problems just to come and criticize ours. Por Dios.

I'll have the toad and dove plate, kind of like the turf and surf? We wouldn't be getting close to off topic would we?
I used the word "legitimate" in the common sense of born inside of wedlock. I posted the requirements for a child born "out of wedlock" and the link in post 146. There is nothing unclear in the US statutes.

I often generalize and make my point through controversial ripping of people as a whole, but some of you guys are actually serious. People are becoming way too serious on here. I am beginning to see a divide of those who are just passing banter, having a bit crack with each other and those who are far to involved in the topic, way more involved than is healthy and showing obvious insecurities. Some of you are so transparent yet are trying so hard to hide your intense rage it is quite amuzing. I've just noticed a few regulars over the last week or so, but I bet I'm not the only one.
The word is unclear because it.is anachronistic. I would say legitimate means recording your name on the birth certificate. What the US govt "may" mean it to marry the mother of the child.
In the DR unlike the US the father has to.declare in.person with 2 witnesses that he is the childs pappy. That seems legitimate to me. IN THE US she can just fill.in the blanks on the application for birth certificate so barring DNA she can any old guy is the pappy.

There was a Supreme Court case on this in 2001 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguyen_v._INS
" An illegitimate foreign-born child of an American father and an alien mother, on the other hand, is recognized as a U.S. citizen only if a much more complex and stringent set of conditions are met: the father's paternity must be convincingly established prior to the child's 18th birthday, and the father must also agree in writing to provide financial support to the child until he or she reaches age 18.[3]"
this is important only for those US citizen fathers who wish their children who are born here --"outside of marriage" to obtain a US passport and any future SS benefits. It is not enough for their names to be recorded on the birth certificate.

This would.indicate that for Pappies in this situation to.wait until the child.is 16 or 17 before they petition for US citizenship.

Regardless of country, they should make more of an effort to get pregnant teens through high school...
I read this somewhere and was wondering what were some of the factors affecting this sad statistic ?
Why is it so prevalent ?
