Parental guidance: Oakland County program helps unwed parents

Oakland County's Forget Me Not Program is leading the nation with its innovative approach to unwed parenthood. This creative program, to be implemented by the Oakland County Circuit Court, will provide workshops for parents who never married each other to stress that every child deserves two parents. Focal points of the three-hour workshop will be the importance of having two parents in a child's life, how parents can resolve conflicts between themselves without traumatizing children, and how to boost a child's self-esteem.
