Ever wondered what it’s like to have a new brother every year? Justin and Chad, a couple from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, can tell you! They’ve been hosting AFS students for years, and their 3-year-old son, Everett, has grown up with a global family. 

In our most recent AFS Exchange podcast episode, Justin and Chad share stories about the impact of hosting on their lives and the lasting bonds they’ve formed with their international sons, and Everett’s brothers. Hear how their family has been introduced to new cultures, experiences, and even the challenges of raising a teenager, years before Everett will become one.  

While there have been ups and downs, they’ve felt well-supported by AFS throughout their journey. This episode is a testament to the benefits that couples with young children can gain by hosting an exchange student – or seven!
