The People Behind SingleMom.com™

We’re a small group of people who are single moms, were raised by single moms, and children lovers who want to make a difference in this world. We created SingleMom.com™ primarily for the purpose of providing single moms information, resources and a place to make your voice heard.

We began our website in the year 2000 with a group of women who were drawn to the idea by word of mouth. Our group was a mixture of single, married and divorced women. It was our goal to make SingleMom.com the place to go online for women who are looking for information and resources that relate to, and enhance our everyday lives. Whether married, single or divorced, we wanted SingleMom.com to have the answers and information women with children are looking for. We had hoped our visitors would provide us with feedback related to their topics of interest….well, here we are today! Now in our seventh year, we are one of the top single mom websites on the internet, with many contributors, over 1000 pages of valuable information and resources, and still growing.

We’ve received countless numbers of emails from single moms who are struggling on a daily basis to raise their children with no support from family, society or government subsidized aid. We want to recognize these single mothers for their hard work and devotion to strive to make ends meet and provide what they can for their children. We would like to invite single moms to spend some time to look at SingleMom.com™ and see if we can be of help and support you by providing information, resources and chat rooms for discussion.

Our volunteers work hard to reply to most email from our visitors because we know how important a caring reply or acknowledgement can be. We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for your support throughout the years.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to providing you and your family with quality information, resources and community.

Do you feel like finding real true love is impossible because you’re a single mother? Like the man of your dreams is never going to fall for a woman with kids? Or maybe you’re in a relationship and facing situations you never imagined. Love is great but it’s never easy.

Hi, I’m Kristy Casto. I’m a workaholic, student, writer, peanut butter addict and of course, a single mother to two crazy but pretty cool kids. I was married for five years and while my ex husband and I are great parents together, the love we should’ve had for each other wasn’t there. After my divorce, I was lost, devastated and unknowingly about to begin the most amazing journey of my life!

I always thought finding love was about finding your soul mate, getting married, having kids and living happily ever after but finding love is so much more than that and you deserve all of it. What I’ve learned on my journey through life as a single mother is that love starts with you. I began my journey desperate, scared, very lonely and convinced that I would be single for the rest of my life. Now my outlook is quite different. Now, I know there’s no one who can love me more than I love myself and that has opened my heart to love as it’s perceived in all it’s goodness, not the pain. I’m excited to find that one man who can not only settle my heart for good but add to my happiness in only ways that he can. Join me on my journey and read what I’ve learned. My hopes as a contributing writer to SingleMom.com is to inspire you to feel loved no matter your situation.

Things got better until 2002, when two of her best friends were murdered. From the trauma of her loss, something in her changed that day, and she was never the same.
