Our Journey to Becoming a Family

Published by Ryan and Sara Hall on September 8, 2015

We are excited to introduce you to our four beautiful daughters: Hana (15), Mia (13), Jasmine (8) and Lily (5)!

It all started 2 years ago when Ryan and I decided we wanted to start a family. To be honest, Ryan started feeling “the itch” first- after all, we had gotten married so young, so even though we were still young it felt like the right time to him.  We had always talked about growing our family through giving children a home that might not otherwise have one. But at the time, I wasn’t quite ready for my world to get instantly a lot smaller than it was and be tied down to one place. 

I was enjoying the freedom of traveling the world running and pursuing the things God has put on my heart. And yet, since we were leaning towards international adoption from an impoverished country, we knew that it was a long process that usually took years, and so we started doing our research and beginning the many hoops required of adoptive parents and I hoped my heart would catch up by the time it finished.
