Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Linking children with their biological fathers is complicated. I see that you are using a program I posted earlier. I also see that you are using the Rwanda 2010-11 survey. If, in RWPR61, you enter "tab1 hv117 hv118" you will see that there was subsampling of men. You can check the report, but there are about half as many eligible men as eligible women. You will lose about half of the fathers that way. However, you should definitely not lose ALL the fathers.

I will try to check what has happened and will add another post on this.
