The single best indicator of whether or not a child is going to be in poverty or not is whether or not they were raised by a two-parent household or a single parent household.

Bill Flores

Coming from a single parent household, I witnessed firsthand the strength and courage of the single mother. I always had my father in my life but my household was run by my mother and my grandmother. As a result, I have always had the utmost respect for women and have chosen to strongly convey that in my music.

Raheem DeVaughn

I came from a single parent household. And I had a bad example of what a husband and father could be and how irresponsible a father could be. So because of that, I didn't want to get married or have kids.

Sarah Shahi

I was a solo parent. Not a single parent as far as I was concerned. Single parent implies that the other parent is around somewhere.

Jennifer Ashton

I've been told by people, 'It's strange that you're a celebrity but you've never missed a single occasion to be there for your kids, you're a very hands-on parent.' I'm a very involved parent, actually.

Pooja Bedi

While having two biological parents at home is, the statistics tell us, best for children, a single-parent household is almost as good.

Sandra Tsing Loh

Remember that a single mom is just like any other mom and that our number one priority is till our kids. Any parent does whatever it takes for their kids and a single mother is no different.

Paula Miranda

There's something pure about our bloodline: There are no accidental kids of gay parents. Every single gay parent desperately, passionately wanted to be a parent. That's neat, and I hope we can keep it that way.

B. D. Wong

My family comes from Panama, and I grew up in a single parent household with my mother, who barely spoke English. She couldn't get a good job, yet there were four of us for her to raise.

Bobby Lashley

Child care can almost bankrupt a family, even a two-parent household in which both parents are working. That keeps a parent from being at ease and it really stifles the social and economic growth of a family. Women are hit hard across the board, but particularly in homes where the mother is the head of the household and the only wage-earner. It hurts her, and it hurts her children.

Nina Turner

I mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?

LeBron James

There's nothing unique about me as a parent. I am a parent. My kids are kids. We do the best we can do.

Nikki Sixx

I don't think America knows what a gay parent looks like. I am the gay parent. America has watched me parent my children on TV for six years. They know what kind of parent I am.

Rosie O'Donnell

There is a core value I wanted to illuminate: No matter what kind of family you have - straight, gay, married, single parent, separated, no kids, two kids, 20 kids, whatever - we all go through the human comedy. But if the bonds are strong enough, and the desire is there, you can get to the other side, still together and still a family.

Lisa Cholodenko

Dating as a single parent is tricky. My kids are usually seen less as a 'bonus' and more as a 'situation.'

Stephanie Land

Labeling people single parents, for example, when they may in fact be co-parenting - either with an unmarried other parent in the home or with an ex-spouse in a joint custody situation - stigmatizes their children as the products of 'single parenthood' and makes the uncounted parent invisible to society.
