Same way everyone makes friends. Homeschooling doesn't mean locking your kids in the house, unless that's the reason you homeschool (and some parents do, usually for religious reasons). Our kids went to sports activities, all kinds of classes, music lessons, activities, group trips to the park, etc. Depending on where you live you will find groups of other homeschooling parents. In some states homeschooled kids can participate in at least some school activities, such as sports. For older children community colleges and universities may have programs. There's plenty to do, and many ways for kids to make friends. If you live in a rural or remote place that will be harder, of course, but that would affect your kids regardless. We moved to a place (suburban Portland) where we would have neighbors with kids, in a state that has liberal laws regarding homeschooling. People move for jobs and careers all the time, why not move to raise kids in a better environment?
