Info:
The variant with свой is preferred. Свой always refers back to the subject and can be used with all persons. English has no direct equivalent (the closest is "my own", "your own", etc.). Папа has natural masculine gender, so the pronoun is declined following the masculine pattern (A=G for animate nouns!), while its grammatical gender is feminine.
