Heart Gallery of Alaska was created to recruit forever families for legally free children in Alaska.

The Heart Gallery of Alaska utilizes the power of media to capture the individuality of children waiting in foster care in order to advocate for their adoption. Each child listed on the Heart Gallery of Alaska has chosen to be featured and is legally available for adoption. This gallery does not show every child awaiting a home, but serves as a compelling representation of the many Alaskan children who are looking for forever families. Through the Heart Gallery of Alaska, a loving family can inquire and learn more about children awaiting adoption and children featured on the gallery are encouraged to express what they are looking for in a forever family. Beacon Hill operates the Heart Gallery of Alaska and is a privately funded non-profit based in Anchorage. We work with professional volunteer media teams to showcase Alaska’s beautiful children. Because of this, many of these children will find permanent, loving homes.

As we wrap up our Myth Busted series, we hope you’ve gained a better understanding of adoption, the Heart Gallery, and the children waiting for permanent families. 💜

One of the most important things to remember is that connection takes time. For a child who has experienced separation, loss, or multiple caregivers, building trust and feeling safe in a new family may not happen overnight. That doesn’t mean the connection isn’t growing.

With patience, consistency, and a commitment to showing up, families can build relationships that last a lifetime.

Thank you for following along with our Myth Busted series! If you’ve been curious about adoption, we encourage you to keep asking questions, keep learning, and consider whether you could be the family a child is waiting for.

You don’t have to already be a parent to consider adoption. Becoming an adoptive parent is a learning process, and no one is expected to have all the answers from the beginning.

Training, resources, and support are available to help prospective parents better understand the experiences and needs of children who have been in foster care.

Curious about what it takes to become an adoptive parent? Start by learning more, asking questions, and joining us for our monthly Permanency Orientation to explore whether adoption could be right for your family.

Another Myth Busted! 💜

Adoption doesn’t mean pretending a child’s past didn’t happen or asking them to leave important parts of their story behind. Every child’s experiences, relationships, and history are unique, and those things can continue to matter after permanency.

Adoptive families aren’t stepping in to replace a child’s biological family. They are stepping into their future—providing a permanent family, a safe and supportive home, and someone committed to being there for the long haul.

When we think about adoption, it’s easy to picture a younger child. But children and teens of all ages need families who are willing to walk alongside them and provide lasting connection and support.

Older youth deserve the opportunity to experience belonging and the security of a permanent family, too.

Could you be the family an older youth is waiting for? Learn more about the youth featured on the Heart Gallery at heartgalleryak.com

There are a lot of misconceptions about why the Heart Gallery exists and how children’s stories are shared. The Heart Gallery is not about putting children “out there” for anyone to adopt. It is about intentionally sharing who these youth are, what they enjoy, and what they hope for in a Forever Family.

Through the Heart Gallery, we hope to help connect youth with families who may be the right fit for them.
