America Counts: Stories Behind the Numbers
As blended families become more common, the definition of fathering extends well beyond men’s own biological or adopted children.
There are 4 million men who live with the children of a spouse or partner, according to the Men’s Fertility report out today. A subset of those men — 1.8 million — do not live with biological or adopted children of their own.
Of those men, the majority — 59.9 percent — are identified as a stepfather to one or more children in the household and 40.1 percent are not.
