On February 6, 2025, Megan and Erich welcomed their four daughters: Elly, Edyn, Dani, and Lucy. All four girls are doing well, joining their older sister, Emyrson.
Erich had always wanted a large family. He was adopted as a child and hoped to have biological children. Megan noted that their home is now full of five "rainbow babies," and they feel incredibly lucky.
Friends of the couple started a GoFundMe to help with the costs of raising four new babies. They have raised over $25,000. The couple shared their gratitude on the fundraiser, saying, "Every bit of support, whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing our story, means more to us than words can express." They added that the kindness from their family, friends, and community reminds them they are not alone.
