AFS students bring a lot to their new families and homes. But what about when they also bring the sibling experience for the first time?

In this episode, Growing Together: AFS-USA Host Sibling Experiences, we delve into the stories of only children who suddenly found themselves with siblings overnight! Parker from Massachusetts and Reese from New York grew up as only children, but in recent years, their families have embraced hosting AFS students, adding brothers and sisters from around the globe to their lives.

By welcoming AFS students, families not only offer their child a glimpse of life beyond the United States but also introduce them to the joys and challenges of siblinghood.
