This is a family deeply committed to each other and to God, who are willing to bare their hearts to America to share the love of Jesus, as well as their commitment to adoption. The decision for Chapman to return to the stage, let alone tell the story publicly didn&#8217;t come easy, I&#8217;m sure. I hope that sharing the story helps them heal, and reaches out to other families dealing with similar losses.<br \/>\nTo learn more about Shaohannah&#8217;s Hope, the organization founded by the Chapman&#8217;s to assist families with the financial burdens of adoption, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.showhope.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.showhope.com<\/a> To learn more about Steven Curtis Chapman, visit his website.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevencurtischapman.com\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>RELATED POSTS<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/06\/chapman-family-suffers-tragic.html\" target=\"_blank\">Chapman Family Suffers Tragic Loss<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/08\/steven-curtis-chapman-and-fami-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Curtis Chapman and family in this week&#8217;s People magazine, links to Larry King and GMA interviews<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/09\/steven-curtis-chapman-performs.html\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Curtis Chapman performs live on The Early Show; to appear on Fox &amp; Friends<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/11\/steven-curtis-chapman-get-nomi.html\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Curtis Chapman get nomination for Beliefnet&#8217;s Most Inspiring Person of the Year<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/06\/shaohannahs-hope-grateful-for.html\" target=\"_blank\">Shaohannah&#8217;s Hope grateful for donations<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The August 15th issue of People magazine will incude a major feature on Steven Curtis Chapman, his wife Mary Beth, and children Emily, Caleb and Will as the family shares their memories of Maria, their faith in God, and their strong love for each other.
