With the help of professional photographers, Granito provided a way to encourage adoption of older children with inspiring portraits of those children. Now in its ninth year, the Heart Gallery of America has over 120 Heart Galleries across the United States that are designed and presented with the hopes of increasing the number of older children who are adopted. There is an urgent need for caring foster homes. The public is invited to attend the Heart Gallery reception to learn more about children who are available for adoption, and the procedure for adoption.
