See what The Rogers Family (former host family) has to say about their experience:
"Our exchange student has been such a blessing in our lives. We had no idea we were missing anything until she came into our lives. Having a host daughter has made us laugh harder than we ever have before. It’s been so special to see my kids love her, bond with her, and my daughter’s closest confidant in a time of her life. She has become not just a daughter to me, but my friend."
