Hello!

We are two girls living our best lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, ready to add ‘mother’ and ‘fur sister’ to our list of titles. I have chosen to do life unpartnered, but being a mother has always been the ultimate purpose for me, and I have a rich village of supporters. While I know choosing adoption is the most difficult road to walk, my hope is that the family you choose brings just a little bit of ‘right’ to the journey. I promise to honor you, and to honor all the parts of your child’s story that don’t include me. I promise to embrace, know, and love you, and to hold space for your child to do the same. I promise to walk this road with you and not just because of you. If our paths come together on this journey, we’ll be forever family. Two mothers learning and growing together.

Family

My parents have recently retired to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Northern Georgia, and my brother Kevin and his wife Shaena currently live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Despite the distance, we see each other often, in St. Paul, Grand Forks, and Georgia. Lots of family road trips and adventures to the South are in our future! We are really a family of weirdos who love to travel, laugh, and have a good late night dance party. My extended family on Dad’s side gathers biannually from all over the country. Family vacation is always loud, wild, and some of my favorite memories. My family includes generations of physical distance that, in our experience, has absolutely fostered more intentional and stronger connection.

Friends

While my family lives far away, my friends are close and make for the best community and support. My best friend Laura and I have worked together for several years at six different addresses (including my own speech and occupational therapy clinic). I hate when she calls me her boss, but she and her family are favorites. They live a mile away and I love our meals together, both the spontaneous ones and our traditional “Christmas Eve Eve.” I was a regular nanny for two dear families for nearly a decade during college, graduate school, and beyond. We’ve remained friends and I am now several of the kids’ piano teacher.

Work

Anne and I opened our business together in 2018, and our partnership and teamwork go beyond the four walls of our clinic. Anne is one of Honey’s favorite people, and mine too! We recently celebrated four years of business and haven’t killed each other yet. 😊 My professional life has been my biggest source of self-growth: in leadership, patience, compromise, and developing a deep understanding of kids. Honey comes to work with me many days too on her path to becoming a therapy dog, but I’m not sure how she feels about it.

To get to know me even better, feel free to check out my Instagram! @alexhopestoadoptmn

I would be honored to have the chance to meet you. Either way. I’m sending you all the love on this journey!
