Welcome to our home, where you will become part of our happy family. We have been hosting high school students from China for over ten years. We have also hosted students from France and Spain for shorter summer stays. We are a family of five, parents (who are separated) plus 3 adopted children from various backgrounds. Two of those children attend college and one is living at home while also working. I am recently retired from my work as an attorney. We have one small male dog and one female cat who visits us part time. We live in a beautiful area of New Jersey, close to the beaches and we love to show students our lifestyle here.
