The Grand Ole Opry will celebrate National Adoption Month on Nov. 6 with two special shows benefiting Show Hope, the nonprofit founded by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth.

The evening will feature performances from Chapman, Carrie Underwood, Bill Anderson, Mark Wills, Colony House and Louis York.

“The Grand Ole Opry has been a very special part of my story since I was a boy listening to WSM radio, and it played a pivotal role in launching my career as a performer,” says Chapman. “To now be a member of the Opry family and to partner for a special night celebrating something so close to Mary Beth’s and my hearts—the miracle of adoption and the work of Show Hope—is an incredible honor. This is truly going to be an incredible night on many levels… amazing music with world class artists and an Opry house full of people showing love to children and families on the adoption journey. God is good!”

This year's celebration comes at a particularly meaningful time for Show Hope as 10,000 children from 65 countries have been impacted by the organization's Adoption Aid grants since its founding in 2003.
