The Last Shop




We did a final shop for baby stuff on Shamian Island - the home of the White Swan hotel where all the other adoption agencies house their familes. Norman keeps us away from the throngs of other adopting families and closer to the heart of Guangzhou, which he refers to as the Union Square area. All the shops on Shamian Island are geared for the adopting parents. Baby shoes are plentiful, as well as chochkees, like hand painted bottles. A red guard keeps a watchful eye here - John had to sneak the photo through a shop window as they do not like to be photographed at all!
