Coming Soon!
On any given day in the United States, more than 100,000 foster children are waiting to be adopted by someone who can provide a permanent, loving home. While they wait, these children often live with foster parents, with relatives, or in group homes or institutions. Extensive recruitment efforts have been undertaken at the state and federal levels to identify homes for these children. Yet many children still wait a very long time for a new family. Gift for a Child is hoping to change this as we launch the Heart Gallery Southeast Program to include the Heart Gallery Georgia, Heart Gallery Mississippi and Heart Gallery Tennessee.
The Heart Gallery Southeast is a collaborative effort between Gift for a Child, Georgia Department of Family and Children Services, Mississippi Department of Human Services and the Tennessee Department of Children Services. The Heart Gallery Southeast Program is an adoption education and recruitment program of Gift for a Child. The Heart Gallery is designed to raise awareness and educate the community concerning the urgent need for foster and adoptive families in Southeast states, especially boys and girls for whom finding forever families is more difficult: sibling groups, special needs, minority and older children. Professional photographers photograph foster children whose parental rights have terminated for an exhibit designed to recruit prospective adoptive families.
