INTRODUCTION

Hello! We’re Alex and José. We hope our profile gives you a glimpse of who we are as a family and the type of parents we aim to be. We’ve been together for 11 years, and live in Minneapolis, where we plan to stay to raise our child, along with our other two “children”: a 12-year-old Yorkie named Bear, and a 6-year-old cat named Moose. We feel fortunate to become parents together. Our friends & family often tell us how well we work as a team. We understand how important this choice is for you, and we appreciate you taking the time to consider us.

 

ABOUT US

Alex, as told by José

Alex is the most positive, lighthearted person I know. In the 11 years we’ve been together, he’s navigated life’s momentous occasions: graduating college & law school and landing his dream job as a lawyer working with social workers to help parents and children. Through it all, he’s remained humble. As a partner, Alex is caring and thoughtful. He’s able to make and grow relationships with ease and enjoys being social. I’m more introverted than Alex, so together we strike a great balance.

José, as told by Alex

Reflecting on our relationship, I realized I’ve spent 1/3 of my life with José, and I couldn’t feel more lucky. I like how we share a balance of skills & interests that complement each other. José exudes confidence, style, and warmth. He is a natural caretaker, which he must’ve learned from his large family. Friends & family often come to him with questions about home décor, selecting an item of clothing, what to serve at a dinner party, or how to remove a stain. It’s in José’s nature to know how to make friends and family feel taken care of.

 

HOME

We live in South Minneapolis. We’ve been here 7 years and love our house, neighbors, and neighborhood (which boasts many young families!). We’re within walking & biking distance to the lakes and even a waterfall. We take daily walks with our dog, Bear along the creek and love being so close to our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries.

We own a quaint, 90-year-old house perfectly sized for us and our future child. José enjoys gardening, so we have flower beds and a couple of mature trees, including a towering oak in our front yard. Alex enjoys grilling and is getting into smoking meats, so our large back deck is his favorite spot on warm evenings. Our big backyard is absolutely perfect for a child to run around and burn off energy.

 

HOBBIES

We like to stay busy and active. On any given weekend, you can find us trying a new restaurant, visiting a museum, going on a bike ride, sailing on Lake Harriet, going to a concert, camping on the North Shore, or simply walking to our favorite neighborhood coffee shop.

 

THANK YOU

We thank you for taking the time to review our profile and getting to know us a little. If you’d like to get to know us more, please reach out. We’re looking forward to getting to know you, your hopes and dreams for your baby, and how we can fit into that plan.

 

Sincerely, José + Alex
