What exactly does one think about when they think of hosting a Foreign Exchange Student. I mean are we crazy?!!? We are taking 100% responsibility of a complete stranger! Meh, minor details.
Here is what I was thinking about. it is never easy saying "see ya later" to my step-daughter as she goes back to her mom's 4 hours away for the school year. The winter's here are so long and can sometimes be a little lonely, even in a home that has so much love. I am still "young" and even though i couldn't have children of my own, i have so much love to give. Wouldn't it be nice to form a long lasting friendship with people all over the world and learn about other cultures and customs?
WE DID IT! We signed up to be a host family! While the initial process wasn't terrible we had an unexpected surprise waiting for us. The school district that we live in wouldn't allow us to bring a Foreign Exchange Student to that school. Um WHAT?!!? WHY? Curvball thrown....swing........and miss. Plan B anyone? What is Open Enrollment for 600? New to this whole situation figuring out if this is the best option for everyone involved. Stay tuned to find out our decision.
