This. OP, you've contacted breed specific organizations and if they won't take him, probably no one will. Those groups tend to do all they can to help the breeds they love and their refusal should be your signal to stop this. You have put in more than enough effort to rehome the dog. Now please take that effort and turn it immediately toward getting him put to sleep ASAP. The focus that is now on rehoming needs to be shifted onto getting him away from your children. Tomorrow. Yes, it's sad, but if he's socialized and still lunges and bites, you're not at fault; he's a biter, period, and that's what the breed groups are trying to tell you. The fact he doesn't lunge at your husband doesn't mean he won't lunge at or bite a single male owner. A bite on your hand last time could be a bite on a child next time, and there is NO way to predict when that might be (as you know from how you were bitten, when all seemed OK the preceding moment). I'm sorry.
