Please look at the website heartgalleryoregon.org We are a nonprofit that has a travelling gallery of compelling photos of children in foster care that need adoptive homes. We also encourage foster care. The photos are all done by professional photographers.

There are currently two shows in Oregon - one at Cedar Hills Crossing Mall and one at Salem Center Mall. However, all photos are on the web. We would certainly apprciate a donation to help promote ways to take care of Oregon't children.

Although not a foster parent, my husband and I recently adopted an 11 year old from the foster care system after 27 years of marriage. Our life has been enriched, as it has for our daughter. Training in Marion County was excellent and prepared us for first time parenting.
