    Hi friends!
    Been thinking about different threads here recently re-our kids.
    Do you think there should be a sub-section here for parents who are LGBT or parents of LGBT kids? Or may be in the Family section?
    I know there are support groups in my area but its hard as you all know to get out at night.
    I have full custody so being a single parent is a bit scary (ok- a lot scary)

    I, for one, would love to participate in some of those conversations.

    I do believe this would be a valid sub-category. Starkly, there are two types of adults with vastly different priorities: those with kids and those without.

    Whether biological, adopted, foster - whatever, it would be nice to have a place to share this experience.

    Add my name to the petition - or maybe not, depends on how much you really want this.

    I really love the idea. Even if we don't get a subforum, maybe we could start a chat thread.

    Thanks Y'all
    Just put in a request to the Ask the Staff section for a sub-section for this topic.

    Update: EC Administration said LGBT parenting is covered in Family, Friends & Relationships Forum section. So no new sub-forum for LGBT Parenting.
    Thanks for posting your support. Rose
