Hi

You can configure Database mirroring  between cross Domain.

 - Make sure both Domain forest are members on each Domain

 - Both domain account should be added as SA to Each SQL Instance

 - When configure mirroring use FQDN 

 - If SQL Instance Port number is no Default . With FQDN user Port no also
