SingleParentMeet
Quick and easy signup and navigation. But if these people are basing their choice of dating service on being single parents, you'd never know it from the complete absence from their profiles of any mention of their kids. Feels like a general site, not a specialty. Web search turns up complaints from members who can't get the site to stop charging their credit card when they try to cancel. Owned by People Media.
