203 Dads With Their Babies Showing That Fatherhood Brings Out The Best In Men

ADVERTISEMENT

Happy Father's Day! There is no question that fathers play a very important role in their kid's lives. And it is also a very challenging role. Some fathers even give up on fatherhood, but others don't. They teach, they protect, they love, they are there for their children, and most importantly, they have a special bond with their children that no one else has. In honor of all the fathers in this world who made us who we are today, we share a list, compiled by Bored Panda, of beautiful photos showing fathers holding their babies.

Do you have a picture of a father holding his baby? Add it to the list and don't forget to vote!

What do you think ?

I didn't want to cry. But this is just so touching. All of the pictures say "Don't worry my little child, I will never let anything bad happen to you." This is just so beautiful. And I wish every baby had a daddy like this. Like I have. And this might be the reason why I am crying. Because it is not always the truth in this world...so I wanna thank all dads, adoptive dads, or foster dads who are giving their love to their children, it is irreplaceable! Thank you.
