The Heart Gallery of Central Florida, which is sponsored by Foster youth of America, works with some of the best photographers and videographers in all of Florida whom volunteer their time and talents to photograph children that are available for adoption here in CFL with the hopes of finding them their forever families. Since 2010 the Heart Gallery of Central Florida has helped hundreds of children find their forever families. In addition to photographing available children the Heart Gallery also works to help educate the public about the process and benefits of Domestic Adoption and has been invited to present and host their mobile gallery, witch displays life size canvases of all of CFL's available and waiting children, at many adoption related conferences, conventions and workshops as well as at church and community events. If you would like to have the Heart Gallery at your upcoming event and partner with us in helping find families for our available youth please email us at info@HeartGalleryCFL.org

The Heart Gallery of Central Florida is a volunteer ran community effort.  It's success of finding forever families for children in the foster care system is greatly due to the amount of support that it receives from both volunteers and sponsors in our community including HGCFL's founder and director Misty Miotto who also donates her time to this great cause. 

The Heart gallery of Central Florida currently partners with the lead agency Embrace Families.  All of our inquiries are forwarded directly to the lead agency and they are responsible for responding to those leads and helping us to keep our website current and updated by letting us know which children have been matched and which ones are still available.
