Heart Galleries by State

So Many Children are Waiting…

Did you know that there are over 100,000 children in the United States who are waiting for a family right now? This means that their case has already gone to “adoption,” their parents’ rights have been terminated, and they are just waiting–maybe for you. Photos of these adoptable children can be found in Heart Galleries online.

In my book, I mentioned the #HeartGallery hashtags that I watch on Instagram. It’s heartbreaking that there are so many children in need of a good family. I want to change that. I hope that, if you scan through these pages of children, you, too, will be driven to make a change in their life. Maybe that means you will adopt. Perhaps you will share their profiles across social media channels like crazy, in order to find their forever family. Or, you may write a book!

In order to point you to these kids, I’ve linked to Heart Galleries and state adoptable children websites all around the country below. I hope you will use these links to make a difference in a child’s life!
