All About Tim & Carolyn
We’re Tim and Carolyn—a devoted, down-to-earth couple who love building a life rooted in family, faith, and working side by side. Tim was adopted as a newborn and has always felt deeply grateful for the loving home he was given. He’s a natural problem-solver who can fix just about anything, from classic cars to everyday challenges. Carolyn is a nurturer at heart, known for her warmth, creativity, and the way she cares deeply for others. Together, we run a small family business called Boise Classic Touring, and we’ve found that we make a great team—balancing each other’s strengths, working hard, and always keeping family at the center of everything we do. We’re so ready to open our hearts and home through adoption and give a child the same kind of love and stability that shaped our own lives.
Why Adoption?
Adoption has always held a special place in our hearts—especially because Tim was adopted as a newborn and grew up surrounded by unconditional love, support, and opportunity. His experience has been a beautiful reminder that family is built through love, not just biology. Now, we feel called to pay it forward and create that same kind of loving home for a child. We both have more love to give, and we’re excited to grow our family through adoption—offering a life full of laughter, stability, and connection.
Family & Home
We live in a safe, well-maintained HOA neighborhood where families look out for one another and kids ride bikes down the sidewalks. Our home is 3,000 square feet with plenty of space to play, relax, and grow. It sits on a quarter-acre lot with a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime—complete with a variety of toys, a play structure, and room to run. We love spending time outside as a family, whether it's gardening, grilling, or just enjoying the sunshine. Our community is close-knit and family-friendly, with parks, good schools, and local events that bring neighbors together. We’re also blessed to have strong, supportive relationships with extended family who are deeply involved in our lives and excited to welcome a new child into the family.
How others describe me
Carolyn about Tim:
Tim is steady, loyal, and incredibly resourceful—he can fix or figure out just about anything, whether it's a mechanical issue or a tough situation. He’s thoughtful, dependable, and has a quiet strength that makes people feel safe and supported. Kids naturally gravitate toward him because he’s patient, playful, and genuinely interested in what they have to say. Watching him be a dad is going to be the greatest joy of my life.
Tim about Carolyn:
Carolyn is the most nurturing, big-hearted person I know. She has a way of making everyone feel seen and loved—whether it's through a homemade meal, a thoughtful note, or just being fully present. She’s creative, fun, and full of warmth. Kids love her gentle spirit and playful energy, and I know she was meant to be a mom. She’s my best friend and the heart of our home.
Advice to Future Child
Our advice to you, sweet child, is to always remember how deeply loved you are—every single day, just for being you. Life will have its ups and downs, but you’ll never have to face anything alone. Be kind, be curious, and don’t be afraid to try new things or make mistakes—that’s how you grow. Know that your story is special, and you are a gift to this world. We promise to always cheer you on, guide you with love, and give you a home where you can be fully and wonderfully yourself.
Perspectives on Open Adoption
While our original preference was for a closed adoption—believing that children may form stronger attachments when they see their adoptive parents as their one and only family—we’ve come to appreciate that every adoption story is unique. Tim’s own adoption was closed, and it was a deeply positive experience for him. He was placed with his adoptive mom just 24 hours after birth, and she has always simply been “Mom.” That experience shaped our early thinking. However, over the past year, our hearts and perspective have grown. We are now open to considering various levels of openness on a case-by-case basis, depending on what feels healthiest and most appropriate for everyone involved. We are open to occasional photo and letter updates and are continuing to thoughtfully explore what openness might look like when it comes to a child’s biological siblings. Ultimately, we want what’s best for the child and are committed to navigating these decisions with care and compassion.
