> The NFB knows that blind parents are fully capable and our support systems help blind people develop the confidence to raise families.
> 
> We’re celebrating blind fathers this month as well as the network of mentors, friends, and caregivers that help build confident, healthy, and happy families. This Father’s Day, join us by giving a gift in honor of someone who helped you live the life you want.

> 	In my freshman year of college, I found the National Federation of the Blind. I met a blind father with a sighted spouse. I met a blind mother with a sighted husband. I met blind couples who were successfully raising children, but above all I met blind and sighted people who expected more of me than I expected of myself. The members of the NFB made it clear to me that, if I couldn’t live the life I wanted, including having children, it wouldn’t be because of blindness. – Eric, NFB member
