ALEXANDRIA REGION

Thank you for visiting the Louisiana Heart Gallery website where we believe every child deserves a loving family to call their own.
There is a great need for parents willing to be licensed foster parents, able to provide a temporary home for children needing a stable, loving environment. There is also a need for parents wanting to adopt children that are legally available to be adopted. 
If you are interested in fostering temporarily, or fostering to adopt, you will first need to become a Certified Foster Parent and will begin the the process by completing a new foster parent orientation. Orientations can be compeleted through DCFS or The Louisiana Baptist Children's Home. For orientation, Please reach out to Kelli Roberts at 318-229-7238 or email her at KRoberts@lbch.org.
