  • SFN Dad To Dad 323 - Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL A Retired Aerospace Ops Manager, Father of 22 & Grandfather of 34 - Part 1
    Jul 19 2024
    Our guest this week is Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL a retired aerospace operations manager, father of 22 and grandfather of 34.

    Al and his wife, Rose, have been married for 51 years and are the proud parents of 22 children; four biological children, 17 adopted children and one who they parented, as well as 34 grandchildren. Their first experience included adopting eight siblings, upon their biological mother's deathbed wish to keep her children together.

    The Malavolti family story is a fascinating one, inspired by their deep faith and the call to make a difference in the lives of so many by opening up their hearts and homes to 18 youth who might not otherwise experience the love of a family.

    Given the scope and scale of the Malavolti family, the story is being told over two episodes. This is Part 1 in today's SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

    Special Fathers Network -
    SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

    SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

    Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videos
