原始邮件：Zhi is estimated to have been born on Dec. 12, 1997. When she was a newborn (we don't know how many days) we was found in the main market in Wuxue, Hubei province, which is a two- or three-hour drive from the provincial capital of Wuhan. She was taken to the local police and eventually to the local Social Welfare Institute, where she was given the name Wu Zhi. My husband and I decided keep her name, "Zhi", so she is now Zhi Flora Cameron (my husband's name is Hamish Cameron).
Our family is interested in trying to find our daughter's birth family, to see if she has any sisters or brothers, etc. But we do not know anything about them.
We went to Wuhan when we adopted her in February 1999, when she was 13 months old. We travelled to Wuhan and then to Wuxue in February 2008 and met with the nanny who had looked after our daughter at the Social Welfare Institute and had taken Zhi into her residence at night to sleep. (The nanny told us that when our daughter was found in the market, her eyes were badly infected. This condition was eventually treated and cured.) We did not, however, visit the SWI itself. I might be able to get the name of the nanny through the guide we had in 2008.
There is a documentary by an American filmmaker called "Somewhere Between" which looks at six or seven Chinese girls who were adopted by Americans. One of the girls returns to her hometown in the documentary. Her (adoptive) parents put up posters with images of her as a baby and a teenager, asking anyone who might know the identity of her parents to get in touch. A man comes forward to say he is the father; this is later verified through DNA testing. When the adopted girl first meets the family, her resemblance to two of the man's other children is striking.
I am hoping to find someone in Hubei who would be willing to:
- try to make contact with our daughter's nanny at the SWI
- try to get whatever information is in our daughters' file at the SWI
- contact local police to see if there is a file about her discovery at the market
- ask the local radio station to make an announcement about us trying to find her birth family
- help us prepare and put up posters asking for information
As this project moves forward, my daughter and I would go to China to take part in the research. However, neither of us speaks Chinese.
If you were able to find us someone in Hubei who would be willing to be our paid researcher/facilitator there in this endeavour, that would be so helpful to us.

She had blue spots on her right buttock when we got her at the age of 13 months--here, we call this "Mongolian spot"--but it disappeared after several months.
