We had an unforgettable day for 13 families and 22 amazing kids! We were thrilled to have partnered with LEGOLAND Florida and Florida's 10th Judicial Circuit to finalize these adoptions in a way that was as fun and special as the families themselves! After the emotional and joyous adoption ceremony, the families got to celebrate by spending the day together at LEGOLAND Florida, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
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.
