I have read a number of posts on this site and a number are people
looking to connect. Some are post about being a single parent also,
but alot is to connect with someone. One idea is here is a site that
is focused on Irish single parents. http://www.singleparents.ie/
Ireland is a tradtional country with a people looking for love and for
the most part tradtional normal relationships. So its just an idea
not to restrict your search to only people next door.
