Children are at the center of our initiative, and we believe each step of the Heart Gallery process should center their perspective and value their autonomy.
To ensure children are fully informed and empowered, the Heart Gallery Consent Guide provides the necessary tools and knowledge for obtaining a child’s consent to be featured. This guide helps youth understand the meaning of consent, the purpose of the Heart Gallery, and the photoshoot process.
By educating youth and providing them with choices, we can create an environment where their voices are prioritized and respected. This guide is a vital resource for child welfare professionals committed to ethical adoption practices and the empowerment of the young people they serve.
