Adoption is a lifelong process. Children and family members need support throughout their adoption experience as the children pass through various developmental stages and new issues arise. All children grow in an environment larger than just their own family and thrive best when their community understands and supports them.

Call the Adoption Resource Center at 315-479-3616.

On May 7, 2009, Hearts & Homes created an art gallery to display some of the artwork that various children and families have been working on for the past several months. Jelivet Quinones, a senior at Syracuse University, helped integrate art therapy projects and interventions into sessions. Over 40 people attended the gallery.
