Melanie Hall	China Trip Update: The Last Week's Recap Saturday Mark and I took Meeka Hope to the adoption medical clinic. Its a requirement before getting the US Visa. She had to see 4 diff "doctors". Ran into a couple that were adopting that recognized Mark. Felt a bit weird. Feel fairly "Crowns removed" on this side of the world. read more 1 year ago \| 252 views, 3 comments
Melanie Hall	China Trip Update: Hope's First Worship Service On Sunday, we were able to visit a local Chinese Christian Church. Shamian Christ Church. A lot of people have asked if there really are Christian churches in China. There definitely are. Sweet believers singing worship songs to God, sharing testimonies, and a preacher preaching from God's word. The service was in Chinese, but most of it was translated into English. Sweet Hope was in church for the first time in her little life. I was a little emotional realizing that she was able to hear her people worshiping God in her native tongue. So sweet. read more 1 year ago \| 182 views, 1 comments
Melanie Hall	China Trip Update: Going Back To The Start Last Thursday before we left Nanjing, we visited the place where Hope was abandoned. She was left outside the emergency room of a children's hospital when she was 2days old. It was sobering for a moment to sit in the place where she was left and imagine how the person must have felt that left her. It is a very very busy place and they took great risk to leave her there in the middle of the day like they did. I'm sure they were very concerned for her life because she was a very sick little girl. read more 1 year ago \| 167 views, 2 comments

Melanie Hall	China Trip Update: Hope's first Flight Last Friday we left Nanjing. Hope said goodbye to her city and got on an airplane for the first time. She actually did well with flying and wasn't afraid at all. We were blessed with First Class seats. Very thankful although the flight was supposed to be only 2hrs.(We ended up leaving an hour late.) read more 1 year ago \| 177 views, 0 comments

Melanie Hall	China Trip Update: Hope is Ours! Today was our Appointment at the Civil Affairs Office. I was a little nervous about how Hope would do with us going back to the same place we were yesterday. I knew that there would be people there from the orphanage again, and I was afraid that it would upset her again. Today's meeting was to sign the Adoption Decree. read more 1 year ago \| 170 views, 3 comments
