The Heart Gallery of North Texas, a program of Gladney Center for Adoption and part of the Heart Galleries of Texas initiative, is dedicated to raising awareness for children in foster care who are waiting for adoption. We also create a network of guidance, connection, and care, ensuring every child finds not just a home, but a loving future.
Through collaboration with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), community-based care providers, local organizations, faith-based communities, businesses, and advocates, we work to connect children with loving, permanent families by showcasing their stories and providing support to families after the adoption process. Join us in making a difference — because together, we can turn hope into home.
The Heart Gallery showcases portraits of children in foster care waiting to be adopted, sharing their stories in public spaces and helping them find loving, adoptive families.
The Heart Gallery brings families, agencies, and communities together—offering support and education to ensure every adoption journey is filled with hope and connection.
The Heart Gallery’s Next Steps program walks with families post adoption-providing resources to strengthen bonds, build stability, and help relationships thrive long after adoption.
