The Heart Gallery features the work of several talented photographers who have donated their time and talent to create one-of-a-kind portraits of some of the children in CYFD custody who are eligible for adoption. Local adoptive families will share their experiences and CYFD staff will be available to answer questions regarding foster care or adoption.
