"Waller's focus on low-income unmarried fathers and mothers offers a fascinating glimpse into their inner world.... Waller provides graphic evidence that it is job training, adequate child care, drug treatment programs when needed, and employment, not punitive policies or marriage legislation, that will enhance the economic support, paternal relationships, and co-parenting of poor children."
--Edythe M. Krampe, California State University Fullerton "Journal of Marriage and Family ""Waller's work is informative, particularly for policymakers in the area of public assistance and support enforcement. The blame placed on the fathers is not helpful to the mothers, to society, to the children, and to the fathers themselves. if the goal of public policy for child support is to ensure the financial stability of children, great changes need to take place. Expectations of parents need to be practical and in tandem with the parents' views of what is helpful and realistic. Waller's insights and recommendations, which are outlined at the end of the book, address ways in which this could be accomplished."
--Dina M. Carbonell, Bridgewater State College "Journal of Progressive Human Services ""In providing evidence about fathers' behaviors and motivations, Maureen R. Waller is at the leading edge of work on fathers and families. My Baby's Father is well written, provocative, and convincing."
--Elizabeth Peters, Cornell University"My Baby's Father features colorful and interesting data on family commitments, role definitions, and gendered parenting patterns. In a readable yet theoretically informed fashion, Maureen R. Waller contributes to academic and policy discussions about parental responsibilities."
