The usage of "hope"

Hi everyone,

Are the following sentence correct?

1. "I hope he'll be healthy born"

2. "Hoping that he'll be healthy born"

i'm so confused the usage of "I hope...." and "Hoping that...."

Can anyone explain and show the usage of them? Better give me some examples. Thank you!
