Heart Gallery
 Heart Gallery Application--The Heart Gallery of Lane County is a portrait exhibit to raise awareness of the needs of Lane CountyChildren; those waiting and hoping for their own adoptive family, mentor or CASA to love and protect them. Professional photographers volunteer to take compelling portraits. These beautifully framed and matted portraits are then displayed along with the children's bio in various venues. On the average we receive 50 plus inquiries per week. DHS foster/adoption orientation class size, adoption inquiries, and general applicants to DHS have more than doubled since the inception of the Heart Gallery.
