About the Heart Gallery: The Heart Gallery is a national movement that showcases artistic portraits of children currently in foster care and available for adoption. The professional photos are taken by local photographers who volunteer their time to capture waiting children’s unique personalities. Children in foster care do not often have the opportunity to receive quality photographs. The beautiful Heart Gallery photos allow families interested in adoption to get a glimpse of who they are. CAP's first Heart Gallery was held in December, 2005. Nearly 25% of the featured in the first exhibit have joined their forever families! The gallery opens in November for National Adoption Month, allowing thousands of families to view the children’s portraits and generate awareness about the need for permanent adoptive homes for older foster youth.
