| - He saw Loretta Stinson for a couple of months. He only discovered James' existence when James was two years old (around the time Barney was born). However, Loretta made it clear that she wanted to raise James on her own, so Sam respected her wishes and didn't attempt to meet James, although he wanted to. They finally met in Cleaning House when James was thirty-seven, after Barney and James found a picture of themselves with "Your Son" written on the back, addressed to Sam Gibbs.
- He is an impressive orator. On the dating scene, he and Barney are a lethal combination as James is as effective a homosexual charmer as his brother is with the opposite sex. James eventually married Tom contrary to Barney's initial protests. Barney was not specifically opposed to gay marriage, but to the general concept of monogamy for any two people of any orientation. When Barney learned he was going to be an uncle he came around. In fact he was the best man at the wedding. He is next seen in Noretta, where he points out that Nora is too much like his and Barney's mother, Loretta. Family

| - He saw Loretta Stinson for a couple of months. He only discovered James' existence when James was two years old (around the time Barney was born). However, Loretta made it clear that she wanted to raise James on her own, so Sam respected her wishes and didn't attempt to meet James, although he wanted to. They finally met in Cleaning House when James was thirty-seven, after Barney and James found a picture of themselves with "Your Son" written on the back, addressed to Sam Gibbs. Sam and James discover they share similar interests; They both enjoy playing the piano and singing. Sam becomes very emotional and is happy to learn he has a grandson, as James shows Sam pictures of his adopted son. Sam Gibbs works as a minister at a Long Island church, running a program that helps people get back on their feet, providing them with food, a place to live, clothes and job interviews. In False Positive, Barney makes a large money donation to the program, and donates dozens of suits. In Mom and Dad, it is revealed that Sam Gibbs will officiate Barney and Robin's wedding - which he is later seen doing in The End of the Aisle - and that he and Loretta are back together.
- He is an impressive orator. On the dating scene, he and Barney are a lethal combination as James is as effective a homosexual charmer as his brother is with the opposite sex. James eventually married Tom contrary to Barney's initial protests. Barney was not specifically opposed to gay marriage, but to the general concept of monogamy for any two people of any orientation. When Barney learned he was going to be an uncle he came around. In fact he was the best man at the wedding. Like Barney, James enjoys Laser Tag, fine suits, and maintaining a blog (Single Stamina). Also, like Barney, James also grew up not knowing who his father was, although his mother suggested several black celebrities: Bill Cosby, Flip Wilson, James Earl Jones, and Meadowlark Lemon. It wasn't until 2010 when Loretta moved out of James and Barney's childhood home did he discover a clue that lead him to his birth father: Sam Gibbs. (Cleaning House) He is next seen in Noretta, where he points out that Nora is too much like his and Barney's mother, Loretta. James and his family joined the gang for Thanksgiving 2011 at Lily and Marshall's house in East Meadow, where he tells them that he and Tom have adopted a daughter named Sadie Stinson. (The Rebound Girl) By May 2013, James and Tom are getting divorced, as a result of James cheating repeatedly.(Coming Back) It was revealed that in the episode Gary Blauman that Gary was one of the guys James cheated on Tom with and that James blames Gary for this. By the end of the episode, Blauman reminds James that he can't keep blaming Blauman for his own poor choices. This motivates James to make amends with Tom who eventually takes him back and they continue to happily raise Eli and Sadie together. Family
