More children from China...

These children definitely have some type of dwarfism or are short statured in some way, but we're not exactly sure of their diagnosis. We do know, however, that they really would love to be adopted.

Here is a nine year old girl:

Here is an almost eight year old girl:

Here is a 4 1/2 year old boy:

Here is a 9 year old boy (we think he *might* have achondroplasia, but that is not confirmed):

Here is a six year old boy, with possible achondroplasia, (and who happens to like to wear pink):

Here is a six year old boy, who we think may have SED:

Children with OI from China...

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a condition causing extremely fragile bones. All people with OI have weak bones, which makes them susceptible to fractures. Persons with OI are usually below average height, or are short statured.

Here are some children in China who are short statured and have OI.

More children from China!

Right now, we have 24 children available from China. Yes, 24! So, here are some more adorable pictures.

This sleepy little one year old boy has achondroplasia:

This eleven year old boy has achondoplasia:

This 5 year old boy has achondroplasia:

This 3 year old boy has achondroplasia:

This little boy just turned five a few days ago, and has achondroplasia:

Limited Time for this little girl...

This little girl needs to be adopted RIGHT NOW. She will be fourteen in October. Once she turns 14, that's it. She doesn't get another chance at an adoptive family.

We think she has SED. She is said to have an open nature, is active, and loves to sing. She also gets along with the other children at the orphanage and her nannies.

I'm especially hoping for this little girl. There is limited, limited time.

Children from China!

China is one of my favorites.  (Don't tell the other countries, though - I don't want them to feel bad).
But really, China is very cool because they have a pretty organized adoption program, and the general timeline of adoption is around 1 year, depending on how slow or fast you are with your home study, etc.  If you have a home study already, then the wait would generally be less than a year - around 6 - 9 months or so.

So, without further ado, here are some great children who need to find their families:
