Dear Reese,
Did you know I was on the waiting list for three years for your daycare? I reached out in October 2021, a few months into the adoption process, and you started there in October 2024.
It’s difficult to get a spot. There aren’t a lot of daycare options here . . . or anywhere. Today, when I talked with the daycare office, they were saying they weren’t even getting to new families on the waiting list each contract period.
Every so often, they would call or email to check if I still wanted to remain on the list. Yes, I told them. Yes, yes, yes, until finally I had a name to give. Your name. When I needed a spot for you, after three years, we were at the top of the list.
Love,
Mama
