Jersey suburbs

Hello! I am Cleva A. Gaines, proud, single mother (by choice) of four amazing kids. I believe single parents are absolutely awesome and capable of anything they put their minds to. Our situation is challenging but it doesn't make us any less loving, determined or passionate (or financially stable). My kids are 21, 9, 8 and 6. It is tough to parent/guide an adult male child, while raising 3 precocious, energetic little girls but I love 'em! I call them the Fab-4-Crew and yes, they hate that. Welcome to our world!

(BTW, this is me and my dad!)
