The Adoption Journey Project Hosts Live Twitter Chat About Adoption with Third Day's Mac Powell This Friday, March 30 at 3PM EDT

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of Mac Powell, lead singer of four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning band Third Day Band, will be able to ask him questions about being an adoptive parent during a 30-minute Twitter Chat this Friday at 3pm EDT (using hashtag #MACADOPTION via @macpowell). The live Q&A chat is open to all couples whether they have adopted already or are in the early stages of considering adoption. Questions can also be submitted ahead of time at http://www.adoptionjourney.org/share/macpowellchat

"Adoption has touched my family personally, and I hope this Live Twitter Chat will help encourage more couples to start or continue considering adoption to build their family," said Mac Powell, frontman for the rock band Third Day. Mac and his wife Aimee are proud parents of five children, including three biological and two adopted children.

"We love Mac's heart for adoption and are looking forward to connecting him as an adoptive parent with couples considering adoption through this live event on Twitter," said Marc Andreas, Vice-President of Marketing at Bethany Christian Services, the nation's largest adoption agency.

Third Day recently released the hit single "Children of God," which talks about our adoption as God's own sons and daughters. The music video for the song also ties the lyrics to physical adoption by featuring adopted children, including Mac and Aimee's son Emmanuel and daughter Birdie Claire.

The band is currently traveling the country on its "Make Your Move" tour. Over the past decade, Third Day has racked up 27 No. 1 radio singles and sold more than seven million albums. The band has won four GRAMMY awards, an American Music Award, 24 GMA Dove Awards, multiple ASCAP honors as well as being featured on the cover of Billboard, which called Third Day "one of the best rock bands."
