The Heart Gallery is a traveling photographic and audio exhibit created to find forever families for children in foster care. The Heart Gallery of Broward is a part of the Heart Gallery of America and is a collaborative project of over 80 Heart Galleries across the United States designed to increase the number of adoptive families for children needing homes in our community.

Now, in its fifteenth year, the Heart Gallery model is being replicated in many communities across the country. Although many of our children were removed from abusive and neglectful situations, they still have hope. They love to laugh, to learn, and to be with their friends. Most of all, they dream of finding a forever family to be their own.

Thank you for your interest in helping Broward County's foster children. The needs of foster children and the agencies that provide for them are great. Whatever your interest, there is an agency or program in Broward that would love to have your help.

National Adoption Day is dedicated to honoring families who are finalizing adoptions. Collectively it is a national effort to raise awareness of the more than 100,000 children in foster care who are waiting for families. In Broward County more than 100 Heart Gallery children are in foster care waiting for families. 

All of the children featured in this gallery are looking for loving, permanent families. They are all ages, ethnicities and have differing needs. Please look through these photos to begin to get to know some of these special kids.

The Heart Gallery's mission is to provide innovative programs that help to promote the adoption and enrichment of Broward's foster children.
