Heart Gallery
The Heart Gallery of Central Texas is an art exhibit and community education/outreach initiative featuring children who are waiting for adoption. Every day in Central Texas there are 700 children waiting for their forever family.
By matching professional photographers with waiting children, a gallery of amazing photographs is created that is displayed for the purpose of finding families for these children.
The photographs give you insight into the children and their personalities. Hopefully, they will spark an emotional attachment and compel potential adoptive families to inquire about adoption from the foster care system.
These children live in anticipation of what the future may or may not hold for them: a family. The Heart Gallery of Central Texas humanizes these children, and lets you look into their souls. And, it takes a community to make things happen for these kids!
Todd and Rebecca have volunteered to photograph children for the Heart Gallery since 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences with each child. Below are links to children included in the 2009 Heart Gallery that we had the pleasure of meeting and working with this year.
