The Huron Expositor, 1973-03-15, Page 6TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN ACTIVE AND PLAYFUL He looks thoughtful. He looks impish, He looks ador- able, And Jeff's personality lives up to his picture and to those adjectives because he is a lovely baby. Jeff is 22 months old, a sturdy young fellow with blue eyes, blonde hair and fair skin. His general health is good, but he has a condition callecLOsteogenesis Imperfecta, which means brittle bones. So he is quite likely to have an arm or a leg in a cast and will continue that way unless some new med- ical treatment is discovered. You would think the condition would almost immobilize him, but nothing of the sort. He is very active, he loves to play on the floor with other children, and wearing a cast does not bother him at all. Because of many broken bones Jeff is physically behind the average child his age-for instance he is just not standing with support - but mentally he is considered average or'per- haps above. Jeff is happy, jolly, good-natured, very observant and alert. He has a delightful infectiouS laugh. He loves tele- vision, obviously enjoying the movement and color. He can occupy himself with picture books for long periods, turning the pages himself. This lovable youngster needs a family who have easy ac- cess to a hospital because he will continue to have broken bones. His parents will need to be able to treat him so far as possible as a normal child, helping him to accept the fact there will be things he can't do, while helping him develop the things he can. To inquire about adopting Jeff, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station .K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society.
