| Fotomission, in collaboration with His House Children's Home, Kids Hope United and the Miami Children's Museum, is proud to present "The Waiting 2006". This is the third annual exhibition by a group of socially conscious Miami photographers that are making a difference in an area where positive change is much needed. Thirty-six children that are currently up for adoption are the subjects of this exhibition. They represent the many children in the foster care system. Mostly over the age of nine, these children are often overlooked by families seeking to adopt. "The Waiting 2006" seeks to put a face on this issue, and to create an opportunity for the public to empathize with the children and connect with those who are trying to help them. The ultimate goal of this project is to find safe and nurturing places for the children; places they can call home. In each touching portrait the photographer has captured an expression of the innermost character of the child. Their personal style, gestures and facial expressions allow us glimpses into their souls. On behalf of all the children in foster care, we effusively thank our sponsors and volunteers for their generous and continued support. Without their contributions the success of this project would not have been possible. We hope this exhibition touches your heart and that you will reflect on it and speak of it, for with a little caring we can all make a difference. Chendo Pérez Exhibition Organizer
