Sole Parents and Sealings...

I have heard much debate on whether sole and/or single parents can/should/are sealed to their children, without being sealed to a spouse.
May we never, any of us, regardless of personal belief, or doctrinal persuasion, be tempted to contend one with another over Doctrinal, Scriptural, Spiritual, or, indeed, any faith-related matters, as that is NOT what the scriptures were given us for, nor what our Heavenly Father, nor our mortal leaders intend for us to do.
BTW I too am a sole parent, not sealed to any of my much-loved children; and some of my children were born out of wedlock, others within an LDS marriage.
However, I am content to live as righteously as I can (and believe me, I often fail miserably, to reach my goals!) and let our loving, all-wise, Omnipotent Father in Heaven take care of matters which are not pertinent to my ultimate salvation, nor that of my children, for I know that in His plan, all things have reason and order and nothing will be left to 'chance' .
I know that our Father in Heaven plans for ALL of His children to be happy, to live as eternal families and that we need only do our part, by living the Gospel to the very best of our individual abilities; for nothing in the great and glorious Plan of Salvation will be withheld from us eternally, without there being a way that these things can be made manifest, in His own time, in His own way, through His own means.
My empathy I give to all of you who have experience as sole parents, as well as to those who may in the future find themselves in this position and who may also question what is in store for their family.
Let not Satan use this type of situation as a wedge to keep you, me, or any one of us, from pursuing the onward, upward, path, holding FAST to the Iron Rod.
To all who read this:
May my love reach you where my words may fail in expressing what my heart and spirit would have you know.
