First of all, you need to justify the traffic for these newsgroups.

Secondly, those groups are badly named: you should not have one
ba.parents newsgroup with a separate ba.parent.* hierarchy.

Finally, you need to clarify why these newsgroups should go in the ba.*
hierarchy -- what is the *local* content for these newsgroups going to
be?

Well, I'm a single dad and I'd like to create a forum where single dads share ideas
and potentially have picnics and outings with our children.

It's a typ'o.  I was pointing out that I knew enough about USENET that you need to
have the ba.parent prior to the later..

again, "ba" fathers sharing experiences with law, children, ex-wives, great parks
to visit, etc-etc

I managed a "parents" group at Netscape and also have managed USENET servers in the
past. I, as well as you, know the benefit of such a forum.  Same goes for
singlemoms...

  -To whom do I talk to about the inclusion of these groups into the
'ba' hirarchy ?

Once again, please read the following and convey the process for
petitioning for the inclusion of the following newsgroups.

Jeff Jones wrote the quoted material below:

" share ideas and potentially have picnics and outings with our children.

Then, why don't you first establish ba.parents and then if traffic
justifies it, go for the extensions later?  Somehow, I don't think the
traffic will splitting it further.  (Just look how little traffic ba.art
gets, another newsgroup which would seem to be worthy of being broken
down into subcategories, but which itself doesn't generate much traffic.)

Also, there is ba.events and ba.announce, which are perfect
events-oriented newsgroups which would be perfect places to talk about
picnics and outings.
