Each of these children is legally available for adoption nationwide.

How to become a Foster Child Adoptive Parent

The children listed on the Nebraska Heart Gallery are all legally available for adoption. Professional photographers volunteer their time and talent so you can see the children’s spirit and spark through their photographs. The featured children fully understand that by posing for the picture, they just might capture the heart of someone who would love to bring them into their lives through adoption. Is that someone you?

Each child is uniquely talented and beautiful and has hidden gifts yet to be discovered. They are unique, yes, but they all have one thing in common—each of them is desperately seeking the family who will take the time to truly get to know them—a family they can call their own.

In order to ensure these children are being placed in safe and secure homes, the State of Nebraska requires that every home become licensed in order to adopt a child from the foster care system. To learn the steps for licensure, visit About Adoption, or download the Foster Adoption Inquiry Packet. For more information, please contact Jessica Kroeker at Child Saving Institute: 402.504.3616 or jkroeker@childsaving.org.

Thank you for visiting the Nebraska Heart Gallery. You really are the best thing that could happen to a foster kid.
