A few days before Sunday’s thrilling win over the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson and wife Emily traveled to San Antonio to finalize their adoption of the couple’s third child, Adda Jo.

After giving birth to their one biological child, Royal, the Nelsons were unable to have any more biological children and decided to adopt.

Adda Jo, who lived with the Nelson for seven months a foster child prior to the adoption being finalized last week, is the couple’s second adopted child.

The Nelsons adopted son Brooks in February 2015, acording to CBS Sports.
