In April 2019, Adam Wainwright and his wife, Jenny, extended their family by adopting a son, Caleb. Married for 15 years, they already had four daughters – Baylie, Morgan, Macy, and Sadee – yet felt their family was incomplete.
Their journey to adoption commenced in 2018, involving interviews and home studies with an adoption agency. In January 2019, they were matched with a newborn boy, named Caleb Adam Wainwright, who had been born the previous month.

Caleb, the newest member of their home, quickly became an integral part of their family. Adam Wainwright passionately champions adoption. For him, it is a heartwarming way to provide a nurturing home to a child. He wishes that their tale will motivate others to contemplate adoption.
Jenny, Adam’s wife, had pursued a degree in interior design from Georgia Southern University but dedicated herself to their family after marriage. Childhood sweethearts, they wed in 2004 and embarked on their shared journey.
My son Caleb just pointed at the tv and said, "Daddy ball." Well, that settles it. I guess I should play another year….

The couple’s family grew to include four daughters: Baylie Grace, Morgan Addison, Macy, and Sadee Faith. Through adoption, in 2019, they welcomed their 5th, Caleb, expanding their close-knit family.
The Wainwrights are not just a loving family at home but actively engage in their community. They often attend baseball games and contribute to charitable organizations such as the St. Louis Cardinals Care Foundation and the Adoption Center of Greater St. Louis.
