I am interested in adopting an older child, 5-7 yrs old, and wondered how the concept of homeschooling might look to an adoption agency - favorable? With two at-home parents to spend lots of individualized time with a child, we thought it might be best and could side-step some common school-room problems of telling a teacher the child was adopted, or having the kid come home crying because she has to do a family tree project....I live in a small town and have moved here, so I don't have the social ties and no one is discreet. The public schools are horrid - there is a known drug PROBLEM with known drug DEALERS in K-2 school building, I've known of a middle school girl who was gang raped behind the bleachers supposedly with teacher supervision and they wouldn't even let her call her parents, or call the cops....not a good place for a healthy start. There are private schools, but if you aren't in the "click" then your child doesn't get fair treatment....
