thanks. Of course I realize it is not for everyone, to homeschool. For us, it is the “magic” of my children adjusting to our family, and to healing from the past. (I adopted four siblings out of foster care.)

You are to be commended. Foster-parenting is not an easy job (just as parenting is not easy). My wife and I would have loved to have been able to afford a private Christian school for our children, but the expense was just to great (X four children). Homeschooling was not possible given that I’ve had to commute long distances for work, and my wife has been working the overnight shift. So, we make sure we were duly dilligent in augmenting our children’s education, and correcting any misinformation they received. That, plus giving them a foundation in Christ. We are continuing on with providing augmented education with our grandchildren too. A parents duty does not end when children become adults.
