Florida Heart Gallery links
The Florida Association of Heart Galleries works to support the local Heart Galleries and raise awareness of children dreaming of their forever families. Each Heart Gallery works with partnership agencies in their area to break down the labels and stereotypes of children in foster care and recruit foster parents, mentors, volunteers, and adoptive families. By photographing these children in their best light, capturing their hope, vulnerability, and pride, we bring the cause of adoption into the hearts of millions of caring citizens each year.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.
