The daughter of five-time Grammy winner, Steven Curtis Chapman, died Wednesday, May 21, in a tragic accident. According to their Website, 5-year-old Maria (whom they adopted), was struck in the driveway of their home, rushed by LifeFlight to the hospital, but died of her injuries.
The Chapmans are strong advocates for adoptive parents, both by virtue of being adoptive parents themselves and by supporting others on their journey to parenthood through Shaohannah's Hope foundation.
My heart goes out to their family as they grieve the tragic loss of their beautiful daughter, and my prayers are with them.
Here is a sweet YouTube video that shows Steven and Maria joking around as they wash dishes together:
