Tomorrow is our last day in Nanchang. It is a little sad for me because I know that Lucy only has a few hours left in her homeland and it will be quite a longtime before she will be back to visit this familiar place.
We spent the day going through Nanchang and visiting some of the local venue. Nanchang is the porcelain capital of China so we found a few mementos for Lucy in years to come.
We also were given the opportunity to see Lucy's "finding place." This is where she was found prior to being put into the orphanage(in the video, it is at the end and it is a teal/blue building). This was an emotional moment because I believe her biological mother had so much love for Lucy, that she placed her in front of a 24hr clinic to be found. She believed by doing so that she would be providing her(our) daughter with a greater opportunity in life. This will forever move me and inspire me.
Tomorrow we will stop by Lucy's orphanage in order to have a better understanding where she spent a small amount of time. Unfortunately, we are unable to visit the foster family but will be able to maintain contact with them through the orphanage directly. Tomorrow night we are off to Guangzhou to finalize our paperwork!! This will be her first flight and a good introduction prior to our 14 hour flight in a week.
