I don’t know how to summarize the death of Chapman’s daughter so I would like you to read People’s summary of the tragic event.

Maria Sue, 5, was adopted from China.

When I read it on CNN I was wondering if you’d mention it. What an awful loss!

How could I not, he is an amazing man. Despite what some say about him evangelizing through his adoptions I still believe that his heart is in the right place.

The way I see it is that yes, they are evangelizing through adoptions, but they really, truly believe it is the way to help people find eternal happiness or whatever. And they are helping a lot of families become whole.

With faith, hope and love. That explains my essay, which if you wish, you can read here: ‘Good Grief! Steven Curtis Chapman, please don’t be Sue-sad’ (http://frankahilario.blogspot.com/).
