Lot became a single father..after his wife turned to a Pillar of salt..Hagar, the maidservant of Sarai had a child with Abraham..to name a couple..<P>There is also a book I'll have to locate it..<BR>called Single Parenting...I have it around here somewhere I found it at the Christian Book store years ago..gives Biblical things for Single Parents..I bought it..so I know it's around here somewhere...<P>You can ask someone in the Financial area<BR>to come and speak to them on manageing a budget..(since being a single parent your finances change and you have the same expenses in most cases) I'll post more later..I need to get to work..<BR>

I don't know about any groups specifically targeted towards single parents, but I went through Active Parenting classes a couple of years ago at my daughter's school...best thing I could've done!<P>Check out: <A HREF="http://www.activeparenting.com" TARGET=_blank>www.activeparenting.com</A> <P>They have faith-based support as well. I highly recommend them!

There is another group called Parents Without Partners. I think that is also the name of their web site (without the spaces, of course).
