Meet Our Adoption Team

Meet Our Adoption Team

If you’re considering private domestic adoption, I encourage you to check out our team. Let’s call them, Team Lombardi.

Being that our adoption happened very quickly (we found out we had a baby when the birth mom was in labor!), they all worked overtime to make sure things were done as quickly and efficiently as possible. We couldn’t be happier with the people we chose to work with.
