I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

Being a single parent isn't easy...having a group of friends in a similar situation can be a godsend, especially for those who do not know many others in the area. This is not a dating group, but instead a group who understands the special challenges (and joys!) that come with being a solo parent ... and who support one another and share our experiences. By "single" parent it doesn't mean you cannot be dating someone lol ... it does mean that you may be divorced, separated or otherwise caring fo …

Our goal here at Stepmoms Plus is to foster a group of women who share this similar background of being in a committed relationship with a Dad that meets regularly to support, encourage, inform, and have fun. While venting is an important element of a support group, members should know this group will not be a place to unload frustrations only. We will seek to provide positive solu …

I created this meetup group in an attempt to connect with lesbians of Chicago who are not fully "out of the closet" so to speak. I want to create a support network for women who lead heterosexual lifestyles (i.e. married, divorced, separated, dating, single) but who are looking to open up and enjoy who they are with women in similar situations. I want us to have the opportunity to enjoy who we are and be comfortable in our own skin! Who wants to join me? :-)
