Single Parent
Unfortunately, Dale hadn’t been in a romantic relationship for many years, and was living his adult life without a partner. Although he was disappointed that he had never found the love of his life, he was content to accept it.
He decided that he still wanted to pursue his goal of having a child and raising them, and looked into adoption as a potentially viable option. He was aware that raising a child on his own would be a challenge, but he was willing to take it on nonetheless.
