Jim and Dom
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello, we are Jim and Dom from New York! Thank you for choosing to hear our story and learn more about us as prospective parents.
We met one memorable evening, at a work holiday party in 2012. We easily fell into conversation about different cultures, pen-pals, movies, and anything else you can imagine. We discovered that we grew up a continent apart—Jim in the winter wonderland of Buffalo, NY, and Dom in a tropical village in the Philippines. We left the party together and saw a movie. We have been together ever since. Although we have our differences (Jim is outgoing and Dom is more reserved), we have excellent chemistry and complement one another well. So before long, surrounded by family and friends, we were married in 2015.
From the beginning of our relationship, we have been honest and open about our desire to raise a family together. We have been together long enough to know we are now ready to become parents and grow our family. We cannot wait to welcome your child into our hearts and home through adoption.

Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
