Where I live, you get kindergarten basically all year round, except maybe 1 or 2 weeks off. You can also send your kid to kindergarten for 9 hours or more.

But then school comes, they go to school for like 4 hours a day and there are about 3 months of vacation throughout the year.

At that point my kid will be 7 years old and I will have rejoined the workforce. I have no clue what exactly the plan is here.

Thank you so much for giving me the words to express my feelings better in the future. I could sign every sentence. We were lucky enough to be able to have kids the old fashioned way and I enjoy it to a degree I could not have fathomed before.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you two get through the adoption process fast and easy and that you will soon be happy long term parents to a wonderful child. Also, thank you for giving foster kids a loving home.
