I will be speaking this Sunday at FOTP Keller as we continue the series FAMILY Inc.  I will be addressing the needs of blended families and single parent families. Here is a look at the state of these two forms of parentinging in the US today

52% of first time marriages fail 

68% of those marriages produce children 

79% of the women and 89% of the men will remarry within 5 years

70% of blended families fail within 6 years

There are 13.6 milion single parents in America raising 21.2 million children (26% of children under 21)

Here are couple of websites that I found to be very informative www.thebondedfamily.com and www.singleparents.about.com
