Last month, Adendorf showed his support for Adams ahead of his World Cup appearance in a lengthy tribute on social media.

“Seeing you accomplish something so big has filled my heart with so much pride,” she shared in a May 27 Instagram post. “From the hard work, the sacrifices, the early mornings, the disappointments and the moments that no one saw, you kept going, you stayed disciplined and you trusted God through it all. And now look at you…representing your country on the national team.”

Adendorf called Adam “inspirational” and praised him for not giving up on his dream while facing challenges.

“No matter how far this journey takes you, know that I will always be your biggest supporter, your biggest cheerleader, and your safest place,” she continued. “This is just the beginning for you, my love. May God continue to guide your steps, protect you, and open even bigger doors for your future. Keep shining, keep believing, and keep making us proud. Your hard work is finally paying off and I know there is still much more greatness waiting for you.”
