Simone Biles Raises Adoption Awareness

November is #NationalAdoptionMonth, and gymnast Simone Biles shared this video message in support of the Heart Gallery of Central Texas!

Use your social network to help raise awareness by sharing! You can help Texas youth in foster care who are seeking forever families through adoption by simply sharing their faces and telling their stories. Follow us on social media for more information and ways to help.

The Heart Gallery is a community engagement initiative that uses professional portraits displayed in the community combined with weekly local news segments to connect families interested in adoption to select children in the care of Child Protective Services that seek relational permanency.

At the core of this outreach is a simple picture. But, it's anything but simple. Our volunteer photographers capture a child's spirit in every shot, bringing to life their beautiful personalities in ways that words cannot. They say, "I'm here. And I'm special."

The Heart Gallery of Central Texas connects children available for adoption with loving families.

The Heart Gallery of Central Texas not only introduced us to our girls, it opened our door to adoption that didn’t stop with Olivia and Rose. Bringing them into our family gave us graduations, a wedding, and grandchildren. Olivia and Rose make our family better and we can’t imagine what life would be without them.
