I know it has only been a day and a half but Lucy is perfect! She is a thinker and an observer. She takes everything in and assesses the situation. She is independent and tries to take care of herself and knows exactly what she wants. It is amazing how much communication can be done without words and through looks and touch.
She slept 12 hours last night and then this morning she sat in bed and fed me Cherrios while I got ready. I am not sure who is taking care of whom but I can tell we will be two peas in a pod!
We spent the day walking around Nanchang and just getting to know her and bonding. She has taken a quick liking to Poppy just like her cousins have. I think he is giving her that sense of security she needs right now.
The reaction we have gotten from the Chinese people when they see her with us is positive. We were told that 90% of the Chinese people are supportive of the international adoption of Chinese children. There are just the select few who frown upon this situation. So overall it has been a positive experience.
We will be in Nanchang until Friday and then we are off to Guangzhou to finish up the paperwork.

Oh Stephie!! I am so excited for you!! I knew she would be able to bond quickly because you and aunt Pam and Uncle Ray are so wonderful. I can't wait to hear more about your adventures with Lucy in China.:o)
