In Memory of Maria Sue Chapman

As you may have heard in the news, Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter, 5-year-old Maria Sue (who was adopted from China) has been killed in an accident in the family's driveway near Nashville, TN. I can't imagine the pain the family must be feeling.

The Chapmans have established (before this tragedy occurred) an organization called Shaohannah's Hope which helps families fund adoptions, among other things. They are vocal advocates of adoption, and have adopted 3 girls from China (Maria and 2 older sisters), and before adopting they had 3 biological children.

They would like gifts in memory of Maria Sue to be directed to this charity (and can be in her name) to help other families around the country bring children into their homes who would otherwise grow up in orphanages.

If you are looking for a cause to support, certainly check out Shaohannah's Hope today.
