International Student Exchange
 
There is no better way for International adoptive parents to bring their child's native culture into their home, 24/7, than to host a student from their child's birth country...

Not only do James, Laine, Bryne, and I open our hearts and home to students from around the world, I work full-time for Aspect Foundation...recruiting host families around the country and supervising students, from around the world.  I've never worked so hard, at a job, in all my life; however, I am LOVING every minute of it!  
 
Please contact me ASAP if you are interested in hosting an Int'l exchange student or if you're interested in learning more about the program. 
 
Put simply, though, a host family needs to provide room and meals for their student.  All of Aspect Foundation's students have their own money for all personal spending.  The financial obligation is minimal, but the rewards are truly priceless!
