We'd love to host a refugee family, but there are a million and one governmental hoops to jump through, so we haven't pursued it. We should probably step up our efforts though, just so I'm not called out again here for having the gall to support law and human rights.

Exchange students. Actually awesome.
Glad you are willing to take in a refuge family. What are the hoops? Can't you just go to a sanctuary city and pick one? Who keeps score?
