I heard there's been some issues setting up creches in some of the Weyrs, especially since a lot of the women that either helped at Katila's creche or just offered a bed in their own home to a kid or two are now being placed in various Weyrs. I'm worried about some of the children getting shuffled around or not cared for as well as they should be while everything's still in a bit of disarray during the resettlement.
So I've decided to lend a hand in a couple of ways. I'm going to make sure the Fort Weyr creche is cleaned, set up, staffed, and ready to go by the end of the month and I feel like I'm doing well with raising Alyren -- thanks to Ren's help, of course! But I think I could take on another child around her age. I always wanted several kids and... well... I can't produce them on my own and I don't exactly have anyone offering to help either, so looking after a child that doesn't fit into someone else's life will do me perfectly.
I asked about Varlea, the oddly sweet child of Indivara and V'ler since a few play dates back in Katila at the creche went well and Alyren seemed to like the older girl. The woman that had been taking care of her just gave birth recently and said it'd be a great help for me to take her. I'm currently rearranging Alyren's room so I can fit Varlea's little bed in there as well. I'm also going to make her a few outfits to welcome her with.
All that I have left to do before I take her in is tell R'nya. It's not like we live together and I need his permission to adopt a child but I want to make sure he knows Alyren won't be neglected and assure him that I can handle this. Not a lot of people ever really believe in me but R'nya has always come across that he does but I still don't want him to suddenly doubt my abilities to raise two girls.
I'll see if he's busy tonight after dinner. I think he was having a meeting before dinner but I might be able to sneak in afterward to let him know of the arrangements I've made for Varlea and my intentions for the creche.
