[Faith-talk] Relationship Issues

There is a blind parents division of the NFB Chika. Go to www.nbf.org to find out more. Melissa Riccabono is heading things up. I am not a parent but there are lots of people like you! I think being a good dad is hard for anyone. God never blest me with kids and i am sure there's a good reason for it. Just like others have said being single was God's decision for them.
