What is Parents Without Partners?
Parents Without Partners, Inc. is a international non-profit and non-sectarian organization of single parents widowed, divorced, and never married—who are raising their children alone.
Preamble to Our Constitution
AS CONSCIENTIOUS SINGLE PARENTS, it is our primary endeavor to bring our children to healthy maturity, with the full sense of being loved and accepted as persons, and the same prospect for adulthood as children who mature with their two parents together.
Adults and children in single families face unique and challenging circumstances. For children to mature and flourish in the absence of either parent requires an added measure of love, understanding, and sound guidance. To provide these needs is a responsibility inherent in parenthood, regardless of marital status.
THE CHALLENGE of providing for both ourselves and our children a nurturing family life is often complicated by established patterns of community life. Consequently, a need for community resources to assist single parents in communicating and meeting their special circumstances exists.
THEREFORE, IN THE CONVICTION that we can achieve this and through working together, through the exchange of ides and through mutual understanding, help, and companionship which we find with one another, we have established “PARENTS WITHOUT PARTNERS, INC.” to further our common welfare and the well-being of our children.
