Just a month ago, we were asked by a good photographer friend, Jessica Lamb-Rosa, to participate in the Missouri Adoption Exchange. She herself once had unfortunate family circumstances which bounced her from foster family to foster family. She turned out to be a very extrodinary person and I admire her for wonderful personality and admirable work.
We accepted this challenge and today Randy was very excited to have an exciting session with such a wondeful little girl. He kept telling us what a great personality she had and how many questions she asked and that he really enjoyed this session.
The Missouri Heart Gallery Project is part of The Adoption Exchange and was set up to give children in foster care a spotlight to find adoptive parents.
The Gallery is a traveling exhibit which is showcased in cities across Missouri. Last year the exhibit began in St. Louis and ended in Joplin. In 2006, there were over 2000 children in Missouri awaiting adoption and 70% of them were between the ages of 6 and 18.
We are proud to be a part of the Missouri Heart Gallery Project in hopes that our efforts can benefit in creating a family for at least one child.
