Display meta_value within a list of pages

Hi,
I would like to display the value (whatever the value is) of a custom field after each link in a list of pages. Something like that :

link1 (page1)
value1 (value for the field ‘status’ of page 1)
Link2 (page2)
value2 (value for the field ‘status’ of page 2)
etc.

At the moment I have the list I want to have. It is given by :

if($post->post_parent) {
	$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
  }

And then :
<?php echo $children; ?>
This is the only part of the code where I need to add that meta_value. (the else part is not concerned).

I don’t have a clue. I googled all day. I understand that wp_list_pages is not going to display anything else than the name of the page. But then what should I do ?
Any help would be great.
Thank you
Christine
