As far as a coat of arms goes, I'm not sure that the McAdams family has an official one. There are a bunch of sites out there that purport to have the "official" one...but from what I've seen, they're all blowing hot air.
.
I have a copy of P.W. Joyce's Atlas and Cyclopedia of Ireland (1900), and while there are 480 different coats of arms listed/shown in the book, there is no coat listed for McAdams. This makes sense, considering that McAdams is originally of Scottish origin...but as far as I know, I've never seen a reliable source that showed a Scottish coat of arms for them either.
.
From the sources I've read, the McAdams surname isn't traceable much past the 16th century. It's entirely possible that because they weren't a historically landed and established clan, that they never had an official coat.
Your best bet would be to see if the McAdams family of Waterhead might have had one.
