The incredibly awesome Amber Love posted this link tonight with a simple question “Would you be willing to print out a superhero pic of yourself & mail to Superman Sam, a very sick boy?” The girls and I are ALWAYS down for helping in anyway that we can.

Who's Your Daddy?
They say anyone can contribute sperm but it takes a real man to step up and be a father. They are right.
