We have already raised my partner's kids from his attempt at traditional marriage and family, droves of Hanai kids over the years, and quite a few foster kids until the last few years when my partner started having major health issues, so we know what the commitment is. We just want the best possible start for our niece and wondered about the current atmosphere for gay kids in the schools in Puna. Kua O Ka La is close but the academics may not be what she needs since she is a straight A honor student taking advanced math and engineering in a gifted enrichment class since 3rd grade in Houston where there is a lot of emphasis on STEM.
Our house rules are simple: no drugs or alcohol, no riding in a car with someone who has been drinking or is otherwise impaired (call home anytime/anywhere and we will come get you) no being mean to each other or to us, go to school and try hard if you are school age, get a job and contribute to the household after graduation, do volunteer work if you can't get a job to build your resume. Be nice to the pets, especially the elderly cat who is very frail but thinks she is the boss.
