Colorado Heart Gallery
The Colorado Heart Gallery is both a website and a traveling photography display dedicated to finding caring adults for our waiting children. It is a collaboration among the Colorado Department of Human Services, Raise the Future, counties throughout the state, and generous professional photographers who donate their time, talent, and materials to help find families for children and youth.
The Colorado Heart Gallery is one of Colorado’s most effective ways to find families for children and teens.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Maintain sufficient income to support a family
- Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
- Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
- Work with a treatment team and undergo future training

Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.
