Congratulations to Jack and the Scott Family on your Adoption Day! You can't help but have happy tears after reading this letter!

We asked Josef Reed, a local reunified dad, to share his personal insight about June - National Reunification Month. Take a moment to reflect on his thoughts.

Gov. Desantis signs HB1083 to update Florida Adoption processes and offer more safeguards and incentives.

June is National Reunification Month and we're celebrating the resilience and love of people, like Brooke, an amazing, local mom, who overcame the battle of addiction and began her journey to healing for herself and her family.

June is National Reunification Month, a time to celebrate and raise awareness about the importance of reuniting children with their biological families whenever it is safe and possible.

Without conditions or reservations, I wholeheartedly endorse Heartland for Children as the Community Based Organization (CBC) serving abused and neglected children in Highlands, Hardee and Polk Counties.
The child welfare system has improved dramatically under the outstanding leadership of Heartland for Children. For nearly a decade, Heartland for Children has been delivering high-quality services to children and families in our communities. In fact, the system of care that was designed to protect child, our most precious resource, was not always responsive, nor highly respected, before Heartland for Children was selected as the first CBC, covering Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties.
