Who is Pat McConaughey?

Which one of Matthew McConaughey’s brothers is adopted?
Matthew McConaughey has two older brothers. Rooster McConaughey is the oldest one, while Pat McConaughey is the second oldest and the one that was adopted into the McConaughey family.

James and Kathlene reportedly had a hard time conceiving a child after the birth of their first son, Rooster, who was born on August 2, 1954.
