Parenting at a Distance
Staying in touch with the children who live in your heart but not in your home.
As a bipolar mother I will never have custody of my children. That is the
hardest thing I had to accept. Parenting at a Distance helps me send them
activities that will help them remember me with some happy memories. I am
getting better and they are getting older. Some day there will be an opportunity
for us to sit together. I will tell them how much joy I found in putting
together their projects and I hope they will be able to tell me how much they
enjoyed my efforts. Really a good book. Meghan Morris --Letter to the publisher
Parenting at a Distance, has been a great resource for me. At first the mother
of my son didn't want to help me communicate with the kids. The fact that I had
a plan for contact with them and was consistent won her over. I think she gets
as much a kick out of the seeing what will be in the next package as the boys
do. Ken Richards --Weekend Fathers Newsletter.

of Christ Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities
where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery
of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not
a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to
examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes
toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity
to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face,
heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples
prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage,
not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples
are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout
their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet
reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense
experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement,
engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share
their private experiences with the group.
Children of the Underground

on the Web that monitors the activity of the Children of the Underground
Organization. The authors of this site have been researching this group
for the past decade. They are working on a book and other published works
that details the activities of this group.
We feel that the media has really never got this story right. The Children
of the Underground Watch Web site and Newsletter is our honest and sincere
attempt to fairly and justly inform the public of this issue.
Many of our subscribers and members of the media have asked us who we are.
We do not wish to disclose our true identity to the general public at this
time. These Underground Organizations have a well connected group of litigious
attorneys and private investigators that have been known to harass non-supporting
individuals and organizations. The authors will disclose that politically
they are not affiliated with any specific organization and are supportive
of all major missing children's organizations.

to avoid becoming offenders or victims of crime. The programs encourage
children and young people to act safely and confidently to protect themselves
and their property, and avoid drug abuse. Telecom supports the Police because

half a million children in the United States live in foster care, meant
to be a temporary haven. They have been removed from their homes, not because
they did anything wrong, but because they've been abused or neglected.
