Mention of Co-parenting on The Steve Harvey Show

We love that we just heard a mom on the Steve Harvey TV show say that she moved closer to her child's father so her son can develop a better relationship with him and so she and Dad can co-parent. What's sad is that it takes a kid to have behavioral problems in order for a parent to decide it's best to co-parent with the other parent so that children have the best chance at a quality life. We wish more people would grasp the value of co-parenting. I guess this is at least a start.......

Father Denied Custody Of His Daughter Due To Law Identifying Lesbian Mothers As Legal Parents

I am amazed at the opposition to this bill. Do our children only deserve to be loved by 2 people? That's asinine! This is 2012, it's not a perfect world, but a child deserves to have the love of all of their parents!! AAARRRRGGG!!!! This makes me so frustrated!

Check out this article and let me know what you think.

Anybody in California? Have you heard of Senate Bill 1476?

A Special Thank You.....

Volunteers are such special people!

The DADPR project would like to send much gratitude to a group of Point University (Atlanta, GA) students who volunteered their time during the month of March to helping our organization manage and develop some of our information system needs. As we all know, computers do much of the work in this day and age but having knowledgeable people who can help run programs and create files that make our work more efficient is an extreme benefit that allows us to do the "field work" that comes along with our activism efforts.

This group of students helped with editing and formatting documents to prepare our book to go to print and developing spreadsheets and databases that categorize over 100 entries.

Thanks to their giving spirits and advanced knowledge, our book project is coming along greatly.

We appreciate your efforts!
