You know- right- that "deadbeat" dad is defined as someone who is not providing legally mandated support for his children. I don't really think that applies here- do you? As far as I know Juan has not failed to do all that he legally was required to do. Perhaps you should think up a new phrase- Like "That Cuban Commie Dad I don't Understand and Don't LIKE". That would at least be ...true.

I think you will have great difficulty getting meaningful answers to these biased and loaded questions. You should eliminate these subjective and interpretive terms and strip these questions down to the bare bone. Then you might be able to arrive at a better understanding. Here try this question, I think it wrings the bias out whatever result you might get: Is it better for a little boy to live peacefully with his loving father in Cuba, than to be living in a vortex of anti-Castro hatred, with relatives who are openly defiant of the US Government, who make him sleep in a room with a hysterical cousin, and who would keep him from ever seeing his father? 1. Yes 2. No You see, once you get the bias out of your question, the truth becomes self evident.

"...Is a deadbeat dad living in Cuba better than a Loving family or Loving Foster family living in America????..." Having answered YES to your question allow me to explain the reasoning behind it: A deadbeat can eventually be reformed and become a loving caring father. But a Foster parent, regardless of the love given to the child, can NEVER be the REAL FATHER. Vince PS - Ask yourself the question, why do many adopted children spend much of their lives searching for their natural parents?
