Mail continues to pour in from all over this country and abroad, which makes it difficult to respond to each letter individually. We do, however, try to incorporate many of those letters and concerns into Only Child. Only children of all ages, parents, grandparents, and friends of only children have written to let us know how much they want to connect. What we have read has touched us deeply and made us understand even more clearly the need that Only Child fills. Our goal is to provide information for the only child at all stages of life. Only children grow up and enjoy a unique situation. Sometimes they will have to manage many of life's joys and challenges alone. Only Child provides ideas about how to make that journey a smoother one.

Please join us and become a member of our extended family. There are many stereotypes to eliminate and much news to share. Let's do it together.

Best wishes from all of us at Only Child.

Carolyn White, Editor-in-chief
