Unbelievable article, just amazing, Doug. Thank you for sharing; I'm still going to buy it---that is truly amazing. Chris never ceases to amaze me---he's a wonderful man.

Great article, Doug. I look forward to reading it again in print when my magazine arrives in the mail!

Here is one of the many ladies who worked hard in the Daughtry store to raise money for the family.


This is the picture-filled wall inside store. When my wife and I arrived, we felt right at home. I helped unload boxes of shirts, and she helped make bows. You will not find friendlier people anywhere.


This is the activity at the store on the morning of the big parade and homecoming to the McLeansville shopping center.

this a great article.
did anyone notice that it said his name is Christopher Adam Daughtry? i read that its Christopher Jacob Daughtry somewhere else

A special thanks to Maureen Van Zandt. For those who don't know, her husband Steven was a long time guitarist for Bruce Springsteen's E Steet Band.

"If you can't use your celebrity for good, it is of little value."




"Adam" was verified with his mom. I think she's a pretty good source.

JUST ANOTHER REASON CHRIS WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A STAR. A ROLE MODEL YOUNG (AND NOT SO YOUNG) PEOPLE CAN APPLAUDE, APPRECIATE AND ASPIRE TO BE.

yeah i guess that's source of sources, ha ha ha

Such an incredible article. =)

Doug ... Thanks again for such a wonderful article and sharing it here with us. I will look for the magazine.

I hope Chris reallizes what an inspiration he is and continues with career as the person we all know he truly is.

Aww! Chris is such a nice guy and caring father!

that's really cool. i want my walls to look like that one day. haha.

At the concert at Jamieson Stadium in Greensboro, the adoptive families were right up front.

I just love that!!

The Friends of Chris Daughtry, led by Chris' next door neighbor Tammy, did an incredible job of organizing in a very short time.

Doug, thanks for the wonderful article and additional pictures. Like others have said, I was near tears while reading it.

Thanks for the editional pics Doug. Outstanding job on the article. Seems to have really struck a chord with all the fans. Great support for Chris. Thanks again!

WOW! They really wrote a great article about Chris! I knew he had wanted to adopt Griffin and Zoe before he married Deanna, but I never knew he was such an activist for children without families!!! YAY CHRIS!!!

Do your homework!

Doug, thank you so much for writing that amazing article!! It really made me cry... Chris is such a humble and big-hearted guy!!

OMG!! that was awesome..!! there were parts in that article that actually made me cry!..*sniff* he's got a beautiful soul! so down to earth...definitely got his head on his shoulders!!
i love christopher adam daughtry!!<3

I'm confused! Does his daughter have a different biological dad than his son does?
It is always mentioned that his "son's dad" died so I'm a little confused as to whether this was also the daughter's father !

Whatever the case,Chris is an amazing man to recognize these kids and give them this much love and support!!

Thanks for the article. He never ceases to amaze me. What a wonderful man!

thanks for posting that article. it was greattttt

I thank you so much for sharing this with us, as I sit here with tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, and a heart filled with love and admiration. What a wonderful family this is, God has truly blessed each of them.

Please thank the magazine for publishing the story by ordering a copy --- http://www.adoptinfo.net/catalog_g19.html?...35&catId=164940

Thanks.

Note: I have no financial interest in the magazine and was not paid for the story. It was just a story that had to be told, and someone had to do it. It was a privilege to be able to meet Chris, to be welcomed by the good people of McLeansville, and to be able to tell it. Oh, yeah. It was also pretty cool to hear him perform from about 10 feet away.

Yes, Deanna, it is really happening. Deanna, Hannah, and Griffin watch as dad gives advice to a lucky group of kids under a tent at the McLeansville shopping center. Next door neighbor Tammy, who did a remarkable job in setting up the weekend, is still busy working on the phone.

Is Chris' middle name Adam or Jacob?

His middle name is Adam. It has been verified by the writer of this article and the source was Chris's mother.

It is indeed Adam. His mom had no idea where people were getting the Jacob.

Holding hands after getting out of the limo to greet the McLeansville crowd.

Yes, Hannah has a different biological father, who is still living.

Doug, thank you so much for doing the article despite the difficulties and for giving us these wonderful pics!

When Wikipedia first put in an entry about Chris, it listed his middle name as Jacob. It has since been corrected.

(I hope this isn't a double post. I tried a few minutes ago and it didn't appear.)

I am fairly certain that this photo has never been seen before. Deanna is overwhelmed with the reaction of the adoring McLeansville crowd.

OMG, that is so cute!!! i love Deanna!

Doug- Thanks so much for writing such a wonderful article, and giving us some new pics.
