Our Story
We met eight years ago through Tinder, and our first date was a grand adventure, taking us from a neon light museum to a historic downtown library to a roller coaster theme park! We’ve traversed life together and have been each other's support system and best friend. Our relationship has been rooted in humor, kindness, empathy, and a shared love of Britney Spears. We’re both fortunate to have fulfilling careers; Patrick is a senior project manager in tech, and Dominic’s a senior talent partner in entertainment. We're passionate about music, movies, tennis, and books and love anything fantasy/sci-fi. Our hobbies include exploring museums, walking through our neighborhood, catching the latest films, enjoying concerts, spending time with our friends, and trying out new recipes and restaurants. All in all, we’ve created a life together that’s vibrant, adventurous, and full of joy.
Our Extended Family
Our extended family is close knit and everything to us. Dominic has two half-sisters—one about 30 minutes away and the other in Texas with her husband and their four children. He also has a handful of cousins and aunts and uncles he’s incredibly close with. Patrick’s parents and his brother’s family, including our adorable nephew, all live in Virginia, but we make it a point to see them regularly.
Here in California, we’re also blessed with an incredibly close group of chosen family. These friends are like family to us, and we celebrate everything together, from birthdays to holidays. We have a tradition of hosting Thanksgiving every year, creating such amazing memories filled with laughter, great food, and togetherness. This group will be an integral part of our child’s life, offering love, support, and a sense of community.
Our extended family, both biological and chosen, has provided us with a rich tapestry of relationships and traditions. We’re very lucky to be surrounded by love and support, and our child will grow up with a strong sense of family and belonging.

Our Home
We recently moved from a major city to a beautiful suburban area in California to create a better environment for our growing family. Our home is spacious, warm, and inviting—perfect for family life and our three cats, Neve, Fox, and Dewey, who bring so much joy to our lives. Our new neighborhood is very much family oriented, with plenty of parks and recreational activities to keep us active and involved. We’re thrilled that there are fantastic schools nearby, especially the elementary school within walking distance from our home. This community also offers a slower pace and a much stronger sense of connection than the city, making it an ideal place for us to raise a family.
Our Journey to Adoption
We’ve always dreamed of growing our family and being able to provide a loving home for a child. Our decision to adopt comes from a deep love and desire to be parents and to make a positive impact on a child's life and future. We’ve had friends in the past who’ve adopted, and we’ve been so fortunate to witness this beautiful experience firsthand. We’re looking forward to providing a nurturing environment filled with love, support, and opportunities for growth. Adoption feels like the perfect way to complete our family and share that love. We’re excited to start this journey and to provide a child a life full of joy, stability, and endless possibilities for the future.
