Summary
- Show Hope has aided over 10,000 children globally in finding families.

Christian music artist Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth, have achieved a major milestone with their non-profit organization, Show Hope. As of November 2026, their adoption grants have facilitated permanent homes for over 10,000 children across 65 countries. Founded in 2003 with the aim of helping 100 children, Show Hope has far exceeded its initial goals.
To commemorate this achievement and National Adoption Month, a benefit concert is being held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The event includes performances by Steven Curtis Chapman, Carrie Underwood, and others, with proceeds from ticket sales directly benefiting Show Hope's grant programs. Chapman expressed his deep personal connection to the venue and the cause.
Show Hope was established in 2003, inspired by the Chapmans' own adoption experiences. The organization primarily focuses on alleviating the financial burdens that often prevent families from adopting. Beyond adoption aid, Show Hope also provides medical grants for children with complex needs. Chapman conveyed his gratitude to donors, attributing the success to divine providence and collective support.
The Grand Ole Opry partnership is part of a broader awareness campaign for child welfare and adoption throughout November. Show Hope continues to accept grant applications from families in the United States and internationally, aiming to remove financial barriers for children awaiting adoption.
