Discover Teegan's story of adoption via the Heart Gallery of Tampa, which advocates for foster children through photography and storytelling.
For Jessica and Beau Allen, the dream of becoming parents always existed, even if the path to get there was far from simple.
Although the journey to have a family was fraught with obstacles, the Allens always knew that if they couldn’t have children biologically, they would adopt.
That hope turned into reality when they connected with the Heart Gallery of Tampa, a nonprofit that shines a light on children in foster care who are still waiting for their forever families.
The Heart Gallery specializes in advocating for children who are often overlooked: teenagers, large sibling groups and children with special needs.
Through striking photography and storytelling, the organization introduces the community to these children, reminding everyone that they are not just numbers in a system, but vibrant individuals deserving of love and belonging.
