Page 22 Welcome to the March issue of Di- versity Rules Magazine. e year is slowing slipping away from us but one good thing -- Spring will soon be here! is month's issue features José Rolón and Alex Gray. Jose and Alex are gay dads with adopted kids. However, Alex was not Jose's initial partner. Jose was married to Tim Merrell. Tim unexpectedly died of a heart attack and left Jose as a single dad with their son Avery. Jose met Alex about a year after Tim died. is month's feature is about Jose and Alex's journey together as gay dads. Jose and Alex' story is not unlike many gay couples, both men and women, who have adopted chil- dren. ere stories are chronicled at GayWtihKids.com.
