When should kids leave home?
21-year-old Ramiro is looking forward to his prospects
When do you ‘kick’ children out of the house? It is an age-old question that parents have wrestled with for years. Do you know when kids leave the Orphanage? It may be different than you would guess.
Right now there are three kids at the Orphanage that are 18 years and older, one being 21-year-old Ramiro. He is currently studying refrigeration engineering. He told me proudly last summer of his job prospects once he graduates. I am not sure when he will be leaving the Orphanage, but he will be ready to be on his own when he does.
Last summer, 26-year old Viviana got married. She lived at the Orphanage from the age of one, until she was married. She had graduated college the year before…and still she wasn’t ‘kicked out’. As a matter of fact, she spent late nights leading up to her wedding reminiscing with her ‘family’ about her childhood at the Orphanage. I did the same thing with my Mom before my wedding.
