What does an abandoned two pound two ounce girl in Calcutta, India, have in common with Miss Indiana USA® 2009? They are the same person!

Courtni Hall was abandoned at birth but God had a special plan for her. Adopted at only 5 months she moved from India to Indiana. Raised in Crawfordsville she grew up in the church there. Her faith continued to grow through high school and college. Miss Hall became Miss Indiana Teen USA® 2004 and then Miss Indiana USA® 2009.

Volunteering for Children's Hope International she shares her story of adoption and gives perspective adopting parents the opportunity to hear the adopted child's perspective. She has been very busy traveling and sharing her story in schools, churches, group meetings, and with the world at Miss USA. Miss Hall expresses how grateful she is for every opportunity God has given her to share her story and how God has blessed her personally.

Won't you consider giving the same gift of love to another child? Only God knows how He want to use you to help fulfill His plan for someone the world has forgotten.
