A Family For Every Child

Heart Gallery

The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on how our children grow up today!
Our greatest insight into the future comes from recognizing that by saving our children we save ourselves.

WHAT IS THE HEART GALLERY?

The Heart Gallery of Lane County is a portrait exhibit to raise awareness of the needs of Lane County children: those waiting and hoping for their own adoptive family, mentor, or court appointed special advocate to love and protect them. Professional photographers volunteer to take compelling portraits and these beautifully framed and matted portraits get displayed along with the children's biographies in various venues that will touch your heart. Pictures in the Gallery help you to appreciate these children! On the average we receive over 50 inquiries per week and the sizes of DHS foster/adoption orientation classes, adoption inquiries, and general applicants to DHS have more than doubled since the inception of the Heart Gallery.
