Meet Jaxon

Precious baby boy,
waiting for his family,
waiting all alone.

Jaxon is 6 months old, he was born in May of 2011. He has beautiful blue eyes, and light brown baby hair. Did you look at his picture? Did you look into his eyes? This precious baby boy was abandoned, left to grow up in an orphanage simply because he was blessed with an extra chromosome. He lives in Eastern Europe, in a country where anyone born "different" is considered a burden to their family and their community. He has lived in an orphanage his entire life. He is blessed to be in a baby home where the children receive enough food. But he has never known a mothers love. He has never had a daddy to cheer him on, a mommy to kiss away the tears and rock him to sleep. He doesn't know what sunshine on his skin feels like, or how it feels to stick your toes in the grass. He's never seen a puppy dog, never had a teddy bear of his own.

Jaxon is available for adoption through Reece's Rainbow, www.reecesrainbow.org. He is available to a single mom is is 25 or older, or a married couple, as long as both husband and wife are under 60. His country requires 2 trips, the first for court, the 2nd for court and to bring their precious son home. You can read more about the family requirements for Jaxon here: http://reecesrainbow.org/category/waitingbycountry/russia/russia-region-15

The total fee for his adoption is about $28,000. No, that is not a typo. International adoption costs a lot, but with your help it will be possible for Jaxon's family to bring him home. Consider going to his reeces rainbow page, www.reecesrainbow.org/jaxon and click on the yellow "donate" button. I will also be doing a fundraiser of some sort later on.

I have agreed to be Jaxon's Christmas warrior - with a goal of raising $1,000 for him. Luke 1:37 "For NOTHING is impossible with God", and I firmly believe that. Help me take a stand for this precious baby boy.

Speaking up for him,
being a voice for Jaxon,
pray for his mom.
