If you are thinking of adopting, keep your opinions quiet about public schools. If the question is asked, tell them, "Oh, of course they will be taught in the public schools."
I am cautious about what I say, but I work for CPS, so most of my coworkers know what I think of public schools anyway. It will probably be someone who doesn't know me who actually completes my home study though.
we adopted from the County, and we began homeschooling our first adopted son before it was all finalized... at first we used the reasons of "wanting to connect with him before we sent him out and wanting to give him a chance to come up to speed." the second year, it still wasn't quite finalized, but our social worker said, "i assume you're going to stick to homeschooling since it's working out so well for your family." God is so good to us...
