I had a friend who was a foster parent for several years. He and his wife have taken in many kids over the years. Basically, he said it went like this: - take in foster child - spend up to $X on clothing (which is reimbursed by the state, of course you can spend more and it won't be reimbursed) - spend up to $Y on food (same as above) - ensure the child receives necessary medical care (many have been abused, etc; this is also reimbursed) There is no reason why school can't fit into the same model. In this case, someone has volunteerd (out of the goodness of his heart) to take in foster children to give them a more stable home environment than what they were getting before. The government compensates them for their expenses. This is not a difficult thing. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
