An anonymous source once said, "There are no unwanted children, just unfound families." Project Zero agrees! And we are passionate about finding them.

Did you know that out of the over 400,000 children and teens in foster care in the United States, over 100,000 of them are waiting to be adopted? 100,000 children and teens whose parental rights have been terminated and who are languishing in foster care waiting, hoping, praying and longing for a forever family. Project Zero believes that every waiting child deserves a place to call home, and we are committed to thinking outside the box in order to make that dream a reality.

The mission of Project Zero is to diligently and enthusiastically promote adoption through the foster care system with the ultimate goal of finding a forever family for every child who is waiting.

We do this by:

• Raising AWARENESS about the need for adoptive families through the Arkansas Heart Gallery; online exhibit and three traveling exhibits, through short films featuring waiting kids, and through promotional products and speeches.
• Building HOPE in and relationships with waiting children/teens through exciting monthly events filled with new experiences.
• Helping to CONNECT waiting children/teens with the right forever family through our partnership with Arkansas DCFS, through 'connection' events that bring waiting families and waiting children together and through one-on-one interaction with interested and waiting families.
