Steven Curtis Chapman’s Daughter Killed By Car

What a sad story. :( Steven Curtis Chapman is a well liked adoption advocate and supporter of international adoption. He and his wife Mary Beth adopted three girls from China into their family, Maria being the youngest. The couple formed an organization, Shaohannah’s Hope, to aid families wanting to adopt.

Maria died Wednesday evening after being struck by a car driven by her teenage brother in the driveway of the family’s home. The teen was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser down the driveway of the rural home at about 5:30 p.m. and several children were playing in the area.

Steve, also a singer, started a campaign called “Change for Orphans”. He asked audience members at his shows to bring spare change to the concert, where it was counted and given to a local family to aid in their adoption process.

Our hearts go out to the Chapman family at this difficult time.
