I keep thinking that this blog needs to be a little more uplifting, but everyday we seem to hurt a little more. Again, today's loss seemed personal. We are devastated at the loss of Maria Sue Chapman.

If you listen to Christian music, or have been blessed by adoption, then you know Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman. They have been instrumental in our family and the reason we chose America World Adoption Agency. Although we've only met SCC a couple of times as well as his daughter Emily, they feel like family to us and millions of others.

Just pray for them. Just pray.....

From Jim Houser (SCC's Manager)

In closing, as many of you know, the song "Cinderella" was written by Steven to help him (and us all) grab a hold of the special moments with those we love we might otherwise rush by. It was inspired by a bath time that Steven tried to "hurry," Maria and her sister Stevey Joy were not exactly cooperating. : ) Let us all be reminded again today what Steven compels us to with the lyric of this special song.
