ADOPTED!
Eleven-year-old Jerry seems mature beyond his years, but has a wonderful sense of fun once you get to know him. He enjoys many creative activities and loves animals. He would thrive in a family that would support his interests and encourage him to become the successful young man he would love to become.

artist comment:

"My son (Dylan, 13) and I drove in great anticipation to Tucumcari to photograph Jerry. When we first met, Jerry seemed much older than eleven. He also came across as serious. That is, until we got in my car to go to some locations ... Jerry’s sense of humor was in full swing and I found myself laughing out loud at his comments. He is precious. His possibilities are endless and I hope a family out there, soon, gets to share all his dreams."
Dana Waldon, photographer

The Heart Gallery of New Mexico helps waiting children in the Children, Youth and Families Department connect with adoptive families by utilizing the donated talents of renowned photographers from throughout the state. The resulting portraits reveal the souls of these beautiful children and aid them in finding forever families through state-wide exhibits.
