Teen Surprises Softball Coach Stepdad With Adoption Request On Senior Night

A teen who bonded with her stepdad over their shared love of softball cried tears of happiness when she surprised him with an adoption request on her high school senior night. Stepdad Jimmy Guyton, from Kountze, Texas, and wife Melody Rowinsky, met and bonded through softball around 10 years ago, as both of their daughters played Little League together. When the couple started dating, their love of the game immediately gave Jimmy and Melody's daughter, McKinley, something to unite them. McKinley and Jimmy's daughter, Lexi, became inseparable, too, and over the years, Jimmy coached both girls and took them to games as their softball careers developed. Jimmy was always seen as a father figure to McKinley, so knowing how special softball was to their relationship, she decided she’d ask him to adopt her during her Kountze High School senior night game.
