In de staat Colorado in de Verenigde Staten werd de Dag van de Alleenstaande Ouder dit jaar al voor de negende keer op de eerste lentedag gevierd. Een goed voorbeeld voor de rest van de wereld…? Deze dag is per proclamatie uitgeroepen in 1998. De Engelse tekst, waarin staat waarom de Alleenstaande Ouder dit verdient, vind je hier… The following HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 98-1019 proclamation officially established Single Parents Day On March 21, 1998
