Foreign exchange program

When I was a teen, there was a really hot girl from Brazil. She was apparently very rich back home, and another girl from germany.

I'm sorry my comment is one of the first, but its 1:40am

I've been trying to adopt an 18-year-old Brazilian girl for awhile.

Have had 2. They really just need it to get into top schools mostly. Just realize they are probably real rich and real spoiled.

Just treated mine like my other kids all went well for me. My wife (no pics) had problems with the spoiled part sometimes.

They tend to get really drunk easily... But the upside is, they really help out with the chores and the laundry you betcha...

I haven't, but my in-laws have over the years and sponsored both a teenage boy and girl from the same family over their high school years. In return, the family took their 2nd oldest son into their home in the exchange student program.

Both the German kids were great to be around and even though it's been years since their high school days, both of them have traveled back to the U.S. to visit with my in-laws several times. It's good to see how they matured and got on with their lives and careers.

Their experiences with the program were very positive.

We hosted a HS Brazilian kid when I was in middle school. Him and I shared a room. He was not wealthy and we still talk to him. He wanted to come to the states to get his pilot’s license as it made a lot more sense and was a lot easier in Brazil.

I played soccer and was stoked him coming over, he sucked lol. He did Jui Jitsu though and was a pretty good wrestler.

My little sister did a semester in Prague. They only had classes M-W, and let them do whatever the rest of the time. She traveled all over Europe. Had a blast, and got to see enough to be happy

I might know your sister.

Anyone here send their child out of the USA or taken in a foreign student? Pros or cons?

Don't check the "Mexico" box.

Moobs are not boobs.

We travel quite a bit and our daughter (no pics) wants to spend a year in Asia after She graduates 8th grade. It’s most likely Vietnam, Korea, or Japan. We realize she may have to do 4 years of US high school afterwards but she wants to give it a try. It’s kind of expensive but it might be worth it. Obviously we’d visit there twice and she’d come home to visit but it’s a big step for a person at 14.

I have a friend from PA who let his daughter attend HS in Russia. She’s in her twenties now (no pics) and still lives in Europe but it worked out ok. She’s in the USA about 8-10 weeks a year.
