Special Needs Support

As women, we all have certain things in common, yet we also each have our own "special needs" depending on our circumstances.  Right now, all I have to offer is this page of links, but I hope to expand this site over the summer and offer original writings and advice from women who've been where you are.  A bulletin board is also in the works; and as always, if you'd like to talk, the  Tea Room  is open 24 hours a day!

Did I leave anyone "special" out?  Please let me know (and send a link or two, if you can) and I'll get right on it!  This page is still under heavy-duty construction!

Moms

These links offer a good mix of special parenting needs:  stay-home moms, working moms, single moms, lesbian moms, older moms, etc.  (This is especially true of the larger sites, like Parents' Place and Parent Soup.)  If I've left anyone out, or if you know of a link I should add, please let me know!
