About Heartland
Building families and bringing joy through compassionate adoption services since 2009
Our Story
A journey born from passion, built on experience, and dedicated to creating families
Heartland Adoption Agency is a licensed child placing agency (LCPA) proudly serving families throughout Indiana. Founded in 2009 by attorneys Donald Francis and Michelle Domer, our agency emerged from a profound realization gained through decades of family law practice. After 20 years of working in various aspects of family law, our founders discovered that adoption cases were consistently their most rewarding and fulfilling work. This revelation inspired them to establish Heartland Adoption Agency, allowing them to dedicate their expertise exclusively to the beautiful journey of connecting birth mothers with adoptive families and building loving homes.
