Help us bring our 2 children home (we are requesting 2 siblings) and with Ghana we are required to make 2 trips:
Please if you love Africa, love our T-Shirt Designs, would love to donate toward our adoption, or have any other reason to donate, we welcome you to. We have shirts for adults and children. You can also donate a smaller amount that you are able to, and we'll put your name on a puzzle piece. Anything and everything helps :) Also, in this time as we wait to bring our children home, the most power request we have is for you to pray for our family as we wait.
Thanks to all our Friends and Family, and may God Bless :) The Hall Family
P.S. See to the right hand side of our blog for more information, pictures, and ordering info about our shirts.

Update - Part Two
Peace - Another Door Opens
Just want to start out by saying GOD is TRULY AMAZING! Shout this out!
Just when you think you can take it no more, and can take it no more, he literally scoops you up, and you have strength and continued hope. No one, no one, other than him can do this!
We have found PEACE AND HOPE. Thanks to God - and his workings through these people: Thanks to a couple of FB friends and families that have guided us on FB and an amazing, ethical, responsive, patient agency (with all our questions and uncertainties after a failed adoption with Rwanda). And the many, many prayers and support by family, friends, and our church.
We have decided to adopt from Ghana, Africa :) A beautiful country that we are falling in love with - wait a minute, we are in love with :) - their people, their country, their culture, and most of all our future Ghanaian Children.

Long Past Due Rwanda Update
ONE DOOR CLOSES
We have been getting a feel from "rumblings" and information from families we know personally, families in Rwanda, families on FB, and other families working with other agencies that our adoption journey in Rwanda is no longer looking very promising :(
We have not been at peace for a very long time...
We have heard that as Rwanda transitions from being Non-Hague to Hague that they are no longer processing any more international adoption cases. We have also heard that they are working toward closing orphanages, re-uniting children with any family found, and developing a foster-care system. We do not know, at this point, if and when Rwanda will start processing international adoptions.
And, as I said, we have felt a sense of uneasy, stirring emotions, not peace.
So, we've been doing a lot of praying. Down on our knees, crushed hearts praying. We have been whole-heartedly adopting a child from Rwanda for 3 years - love the country, love the culture, love the people, love the child we dreamed and prayed for.
