Evidence
"Now, I’m fighting in Washington to make it easier for every child to find their forever home." The campaign post also says he was working to make adoption more accessible for Iowa families and cites his introduction of legislation to expand the adoption tax credit.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Zachary Nunn as sponsor and shows the bill was introduced on 08/06/2024, later referred to the Subcommittee on Work and Welfare on 12/17/2024, and its tracker still shows status "Introduced."
Nunn wrote, "Every child deserves a forever home" and said his new bipartisan Fight for Families Act would make the adoption tax credit refundable to help families adopt; this was a legislative proposal, not evidence of enactment.
Assessments
Nunn made a clear adoption-accessibility promise and introduced multiple related bills, including proposals to expand or make refundable adoption tax credits and support foster youth or sibling adoptions. However, the cited bills remained at the introduced or referred stage and there is no evidence that the promised simplification of the adoption process or a completed policy ensuring every child finds a forever home was enacted. This qualifies as a serious legislative effort without delivery.
