PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF
PARENTS WITHOUT PARTNERS
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 with the same prospects for adulthood as children who mature with two parents together.
ADULTS AND CHILDREN in single parent families face unique and challenging circumstances. For children to mature and fluourish in the absence of either parent requires an added measure of love, understanding and sound guidance. To provide these is a responsibility inherent in parenthood, regardless of marital status.
THE CHALLENGE OF PROVIDING for both ourselves and our children a nuturing 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 end through working together, through the exchange of ideas, and through mutual understanding, help and companionship which we find with each other, we have established PARENTS WITHOUT PARTNERS, INC. to further our common welfare and the well-being of our children.
