Expanding Our Family By A Daughter
Oh Dear Lord NOOOOO!!!!
I'm not pregnant. If I was, you would have read about it in my local paper (or have seen it on your local news on a slow news day). I would have made Greg Louganis proud with my header off the tallest building downtown.
No friends, it looks like we might become an "emergency host family" for a foreign exchange student. A sweet girl who happens to be on #1 Son's crew team, had the proverbial rug pulled out from her last weekend. Her host family suffered a "crisis" and she was put out (long story, but suffice it to say that I have no sympathy for the "crisis."). Her only options were...well, the bottom line was that her only option was to go home early and lose an entire year of school. For something that was not her fault. Suffice it to say that we thought, "what if it was one of OUR kids in the same situation? What would we want?"
So here we are. Apparently our references lied and said nice things about us.
This poor kid. She might actually be joining our family for the next 2 months! Allah help her!

Now, of course, I'm curious what kind of crisis would lead someone to think that cutting short an obligation is OK... but thank heaven's for you and your family who are willing to take her in.
And, hey, you almost had me scared there with your title!
