Our Story
Once we made it through these challenges, we knew we could get through anything in life together.
Life for our family is stable, secure, loving, and adventurous!
Hello! We are Zac, Meghan, and Adelyn from Texas, and are excited to introduce ourselves to you. We deeply honor and respect your interest in considering adoption and understand that it is not an easy decision to make. We are committed to providing a loving, warm family in which your child can grow and thrive.
In January 2017 we met online - both ready for a fresh start in a new year. We made the crazy decision to have our first date on Valentine’s Day and Cupid was in our corner! We immediately connected and dated throughout the spring and summer with lots of fun dates; baseball games, concerts and weekend getaways.
That Fall, both of us were surprised and excited to discover we were pregnant. We quickly settled into the idea of starting a family together. We did not stay settled too long because the months ahead had bumps in the road.... Our daughter, Adelyn, was born 10 weeks before her due date. Weathering this storm only strengthened our relationship. Soon after bringing Adelyn home from the NICU, both Meghan and Adelyn faced serious medical complications. Once we made it through these challenges, we knew we could get through anything in life together.
Zac proposed, and we had a fairy tale beach wedding in the islands with our close friends and family. We celebrated our lives and our marriage locally with a Caribbean themed reception. Life for our family is stable, secure, loving, and adventurous!

Our Why
We are excited to begin another chapter of parenthood and look forward to all the joys, challenges and adventures of growing our family.
We have more love to give, and can provide a happy, committed, and financially stable home and family.
We both dreamed of having a large family, but the pregnancy journey has not been easy. Prior to meeting Zac, Meghan had a stillborn son, Rhett, at 39 weeks due to unknown causes. The surprise and the medical challenges of our pregnancy with Adelyn proved her premature birth to be nothing short of a miracle. We went through the IVF journey, and always had adoption on our hearts along the way. As difficult as these experiences have been for our family, we are better spouses, stronger partners and blessed parents. We still have the strong desire to grow our family, and we are looking to add another miracle and blessing to our story. We have more love to give, and can provide a happy, committed, and financially stable home and family. More than anything, we want Adelyn to know what it is like to have a sibling - just like we do – a best friend to spend time with, go to school with and grow up with. We are excited to begin another chapter of parenthood and look forward to all the joys, challenges and adventures of growing our family.
Meet Adelyn,
We have no doubt she will be the best, most helpful big sister ever, and will build a strong lifelong bond with her new sibling.
Adelyn will tell you she is SUPER excited to be a big sister.
Adelyn is a sweet, kind 5-year-old, who is happy and joyful and always has a smile on her face. She is a girly-girl that loves her baby dolls, playing dress-up, braids and bows in her hair, and the color purple. When the sun is shining, she likes to be outside playing with bubbles and sidewalk chalk, riding her bike, digging in her sandbox, and swimming. This year she played basketball, dance, and soccer for the first time. We encourage Addy to explore different extracurricular activities, as we would with any future children. Adelyn loves school and starts kindergarten in the fall. Her favorite thing at school is reading books and playing at recess. Adelyn will tell you she is SUPER excited to be a big sister. We have no doubt she will be the best, most helpful big sister ever, and will build a strong lifelong bond with her new sibling.
