Q: Where can I find other Single Parent family travel partners?

A: A good place to start is your local Parents Without Partners chapter. Try their Web site at ParentsWithoutPartners.org. Other single parent organizations that may have a local chapter near you are Single Parent's Association, M.O.M.S., and Single & Custodial Father's Network. Another resource that I have personally used is TravelChums.com. It is not single parent specific, but you can type in your profile and preferences. We recently heard about a regional single parent organization called SPARK located in North Potomac, MD..
