My parents took in my mom's brother, who is 4 years older than me, when I was in junior high. They already had 4 kids in the house. He had flunked 2 years of school in Dallas. We were in a small town in Arkansas. He finished 3 grades here and went on to get two degrees and is a huge success. It was great for all of us.
Great stories like this are probably why Mr. and Mrs. Anonymouse are considering doing what they are.
And I was quite serious about the contract. If it's in writing, it's legally binding! So you can include clauses about things like what the consequences are if she misbehaves, refuses to leave, etc.
