Steven Curtis Chapman is my new role model. His passion, his heart, and his character is unbelievable! On the radio show, Focus on the Family, he explains how God has shaped his family's life after his daughter's tragic death. One of his 3 adopted children, Maria, was accidentally struck by his biological son when he was driving into their home. Maria was just 5 years old. She was adopted as a waiting child having a hole in her heart, but it did not stop him from adopting her. With love and warmth, he opened his home. Now that the Lord has taken her home, he is now more focused on eternal matters. What a man after God's own heart!
His campaign continues to be for the plight of the orphaned. Not everyone is called to adopt. But, this miracle of adoption should be considered by more people. And, not just as a last resort due to infertility or any other reason, but as a first option to extend their love to the needy.
On a slightly different note, here is an interview with his wife on Good Morning America.
