South Carolina Heart Gallery

The Heart Gallery is a photographic exhibit of children in foster care who are awaiting adoption. Photographers across the United States donate their services to create compelling portraits that capture the spirit and personality of each child. Display of the photographs online and in public venues raises awareness of the need for foster care adoption and helps connect interested families and waiting children. The Heart Gallery began in New Mexico in 2001 and has since grown nationwide.[1]

Established in 2005, the South Carolina Heart Gallery[2] is a collaborative program administered and supported by the Children’s Foster Care Review Board - Office of the Governor[3] and the South Carolina Department of Social Services.[4]
