I've been enjoying reading your posts as well as seeing all the great family photographs. I just wanted to act a moment and thank you and your family for sharing your story of adoption. It is because of your family's story that we now have our beautiful baby girl. Years back at one of Steven's concerts he shared with the audience your family's story. It planted a seed. We sat on it for years before proceeding. On July 9th this year after years of waiting we got our daughter in China. We are just so incredibly blessed. Whenever we share our story of adoption with others it always begins with what Steven shared at the show. So once again thank you.
My wife and I (along with another couple that adopted from China after hearing your story) got to see Steven in concert a few weeks ago in Westlake Village. CA. It was a great show. I got some great shots of Steven and the boys which I've posted on my blog that I thought you might desire to see.

LOVE this blog affix! Thank you for sharing it! I also like the photos. By the way when our youngest daughter saw your unopeed SCC cd's set neatly up there on the counter she said. "Mom that is so you!" because I always buy extra copies to put into my SCC stash. I keep some and furnish some away for gifts. I've always got extra SCC cd's lying around comfort shrink-wrapped and in mint condition. There is no gift I love to furnish more!
I must choose in favor of you posting previous Christmas cards. As you know. I have a VAST Chapman photo collection and some of my all-time favorites are Chrsitmas photos though I certainly don't undergo copies of all of your Christmas cards. If the ones I'm missing are anything like the "Jingle Bell. Jingle Bell. make noise Bell Wok" card then I definitely be to see them. Muey creative and mad funny!
I noticed there is one more favorite item in that photo.. the iMac! Thanks for keeping a blog and sharing a part of your lives. Back in 2003 we got to hear your story in person at the If You Were Mine conference. After hesitating for years we agreed that day to begin our adoption road to China knowing that this was indeed God's heart and an equal and wonderful path to parenthood. Our LeighAnna is a gratify to the ennoble and to us. My husband Steve said to me one day as new-sleep-deprived parents. "I can't believe we almost missed this." Thanks for encouraging us to get started on this wonderful jaunt that has taught us so much about the Father who adopted us!
MaryBeth. Thank you for sharing your family with us. We saw the guys in Portland and we all loved the show. My 4 kids loved it even the 4 & 3 yr olds (from China). I'm asking anyone and everyone to pray for our family---we are awaiting approval from the CCAA to adopt our sons friend (age 3) but the CCAA has changed all their rules and are not inclined to approve us now with my husbands cancer history. We undergo to try though she is waiting and we are willing so anyone reading this pray for a miracle!
