Hope was found 8 days old wrapped in a red blanket outside a hospital. It’s such an amazing story of this broken little girl being abandoned out in the middle of the night somewhere in China.

Mark Hall (lead singer of Casting Crowns) and his wife adopted Hope when she was 2.

The biggest spiritual lesson God taught me happened once I got to China. People had warned me that a lot of these little girls have never even seen a man before so they’re a little shy about dads. I mentally prepared myself for this. Hope bonded pretty quickly to Melanie. She would let me give her things but if I tried to pick her up she would cry.

That was pretty tough. After six days of not being able to hold her, I said: “God, we’ve come halfway around the world, we’ve given of ourselves, we’ve given of our resources, I’m doing everything I can and she won’t let me hold her. All she’ll let me do is just give her stuff, but she won’t let me hold her.”

In that moment, God said to me, “So how does it feel?”

That was so touching to me that I had to share it.

Hope begins testing at the children's hospital today and tomorrow. Please keep Hope and her family in prayers.
