ATLANTA, GA - GMC, America's favorite channel for uplifting music and family entertainment, will present the world premiere of the network's new reality series "The Song that Changed My Life" with Steven Curtis Chapman. This first episode, focusing on GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman and his song "When Love Takes You In," depicts how this particular song influences a family's decision to adopt from China. The premiere is set to air Tuesday, January 31st at 11:30 p.m. ET. There will be an encore broadcast on Sunday, February 5 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Meeting the family impacted by the Chapman-penned tune, the Pace's from Greenville, South Carolina, Chapman shared about the experience,"I'm so grateful for God's orchestration to use this song as part of the Pace family's story. Even more miraculous is God's weaving a child into this family."

Before adopting their daughter Sophie, Chuck and Shelley Pace already had three biological children - Kylie (14), Zach (12), and Brody (7). Sophie, now age 3, was adopted from Nanchang, China when she was 14 months old. Shelley always had her heart set on adopting a little girl from China but her husband's heart wasn't in the same place. Yet in April 2005, Chuck went to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert in Greenville and saw the video for "When Love Takes You In." At that show, he had a complete change of heart about adoption.

The family began paperwork that same year but encountered a number of excruciating "delays," typical and known to happen in international adoptions. The family eventually received word at the end of 2009 that their adoption was ready to proceed. During delay process, the Pace's applied for and received a $3,000 grant from Show Hope, the Chapman family's adoption ministry, to help make the adoption possible.

Chapman was able to spend time with the Pace family before heading out on his "The Songs & Stories Tour." He also shares, "It was really a privilege to meet the Pace's who have stepped up with courage. This show is about God's power working through music, and I'm humbled to be a part of the storyline. GMC tells it so well. Thanks to everyone at GMC. I loved being a part of this fantastic program."
