Trolling about on face book a few months back a friend of mine posted her son was going to Chile on a exchange program, Although it grabbed my interest, my son was still to young to participate and I put the idea on the back burner. My friends son landed in Chile only days before a major earthquake hit and crippled the country. I watched her posts daily for information. I was intrigued. A few months later a friend posts how sad she was to put her student on a plane after an amazing year, again interesting but..
I spoke with a number of people before approaching my husband with the idea.
We interviewed groups and were overwhelmed with info on children that were coming to the US in need of host families.
As a family the three of sat night after night thinning out the stack of candidates until we were down to two.
We opted for the 5 month student from West Germany, we had things in common and it would only be for 5 months.
