Now, there's more to LPA Adoption than just China, you know.

So, we've got children from other countries, too. No doubt about it. But some of the countries are really tricky with their rules about photos on the web. And since we want to follow the rules, here's what we can tell you.


We know of three children with OI who are in Eastern Europe. They are all girls: ages 11, 8 and 6 years old.

There is an 11 year old boy from Eastern Europe with possible Primordial dwarfism.

There is a 4 year old girl from Eastern Europe who is undiagnosed. She has a big smile and beautiful black hair and dark eyes.

Another girl from Eastern Europe - she's 2 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes. She is also undiagnosed.

And one more boy, three years old from Eastern Europe - he has a great big smile, big eyes, and black hair. He is also undiagnosed.

The good news is that we have pictures and info on all of these kids. You just have to ask for the info specifically.

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.
