Billy, 12 Photo by Deborah Jacques for Michigan Heart Gallery.

Today’s photo is from an amazing project called the Michigan Heart Gallery. From the Gallery:

Billy is a talkative and friendly child who likes to play all types of games, but is especially fond of video games. He likes to tell a good joke and is helpful and caring to others. Billy also enjoys building things and figuring out how things work. He would like to be an FBI Agent when he grows up.

The Heart Gallery is a photographic exhibit of children in the foster care system who are waiting for a permanent family of their own through adoption. The Gallery is a traveling exhibit and photos from the gallery are available at miheart.org. More information about adopting Michigan’s waiting children can be found through the Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange.
