After repeat visits to the Adopt US Kids Web site seeking potential adoptive children, Michele and Tom Collins of Pennsylvania came across a photo of one young girl with whom they felt an instant connection. More than 1,000 miles away, Tiffany, 15, was photographed as part of the Heart Gallery of Metro Orlando – a gallery-style photography exhibit that travels throughout central Florida in community venues to increase awareness for adoptive homes. The colorful photo captured Tiffany's vibrant personality and helped showcase her individuality.

"The photo caused us to fall in love with Tiffany, who is permanently moving to Pennsylvania to become our forever daughter," stated Michele.

Tiffany's local adoption recruiter with Wendy's Wonderful Kids uses the photographs on the Adopt US Kids Web site, among other initiatives, in an effort to generate interest in children available for adoption across the nation.
