[quote=Anonymous]Deal breaker for me. My 1 rematch (out of 4) was with a girl whose mom didn't want her to go. Mom skyped her daily telling her she missed her. When AP got homesick and had a hard time in the beginning, mom swooped in to save her, saying you can come home at any time. Gave AP an easy out. AP didn't even last 2 months with us. Now, I ask to talk to APs parents on skype, even for a minute, to introduce my self. Parents are very happy to meet me to get comfortable with where their daughter is going. One dad asked me to give a quick look at my kitchen and backyard- just wanted to make sure his daughter was going to a nice place. This helped because this AP was the most homesick of all, but she stuck with it and really grew during the year. It truly helps if all parties are committed on making the year work.[/quote]
