DADS AND DAUGHTERS
This is a wonderful site for dads who have daughters.
"Our daughters need, not “just want,” positive male relationships in order to grow up healthy and productive. Girls with either an uninvolved dad or a non-existent dad will have problems that they do not have to have, and their Fathers are missing out on some of the best experiences that they could ever have. Staying on the sidelines just isn’t an option anymore."

" Single Dad's of Children With Special Needs "
I am a 27yr old single dad of two, Cody (Autistic) age 5 & Ty age 2. Because of the limited resources available to single dads on the internet ( at least I couldn't find much ) I decided to add my own area. Hopefully, in time and through your feedback, we can have an area where single dads can exchange experiences & helpful information to each other.
