Boy standing in front of blurred backgroundThrough the Nebraska Heart Gallery initiative, top local professional photographers and videographers volunteer their time and talent to take photos and capture video of children who are available for adoption, showcasing each individual child’s spirit and personality in an effort to inspire an emotional connection with families and, hopefully, a forever home. The children are collaboratively referred to the Nebraska Heart Gallery from various organizations in the Omaha-metro community including CSI, Lutheran Family Services and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

Without permanent, loving families, these children face a high risk of homelessness and other challenges that no child or youth should experience. While adopting a foster child may seem like a big task, remember that like all kids, these children long for a normal life. They need love. They need families. They need YOU.
