TIM YOUNES
Tim Younes has dedicated his life to bridging the gap between privilege and adversity, amplifying the voices of those too often overlooked. His career began as a Lobbyist and Public Affairs Director for the Mental Health Association in Pennsylvania, advocating for individuals facing the stigma of mental illness. For 26 years, he led the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club, a role that—while seemingly unrelated—offered profound insights into identity, belonging, and the legacies that shape our lives. These themes resonate deeply in the adoption journey, where history, family, and purpose intertwine.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Tim’s most transformative experiences have been in service to children in need. From establishing a Nutrition Program in Vietnam to teaching English in rural villages and assisting in dental missions in the Mekong Delta, he has seen firsthand the resilience of the human spirit. As the father of two children adopted from Vietnam, he carries his passion forward as a volunteer for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), ensuring that abused and neglected children find the support they deserve. Through his work and this book, Tim brings to light the untold stories of adoption—the heartbreak, the hope, and the unwavering strength of those seeking a place to call home.
