Day 7 Leaving Nanchang


Our last play date
Gonna miss Katie
Bye bye Nanchang
Mary taking us to airport

Well this is our last day in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Feels sort of sad taking her away from her home province. Really smoggy here today and our throats are sore so we are staying inside. We leave at 7:30pm for Beijing. Her first flight. She even has an aeroplan card in her name. We're just waiting on our guide to bring us her Chinese passport so she can leave with us. Not likely we're leaving her behind anyway! The worst part about leaving is that we have to say goodbye to the other families we met here who have been so helpful and supportive, especially our New York friends Janine, cathy and baby Katie. We will try to keep Jasmine and  Katie connected.  This plane ride will be a test run for the long flight back to Canada next week. We arrive in Beijing tonight around 10 pm so we are hoping her sleep is not too disturbed. We have been really lucky so far, she is making this adjustment easy on us. Usually around day 2 we have been told to expect her to have an unconsolable crying episode but we have had her five days now and so far no meltdown. I guess her age helps. We feel like we had her forever, and when we think about the times we wanted to quit but something was driving us on we believe that someone was her. She must have been our destiny! Beijing tomorrow.
