ARE YOU SITTING DOWN??????????
We have big news for you all! Are you ready? OK....here goes...................JAXON IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!!!!!! We are once again "paper-pregnant"!!!! We have signed again with Nightlight Christian Adoptions and will be going back to Russia to bring home a baby boy to add to our already awesome family! Wait! Don't go!!! Sit back down and continue reading.....please! We know we asked for a lot of prayers and support during Jaxon's adoption, but we really need you all! We absolutely could not have done it without you! So, please don't abandon us - we promise not to ask for too much! We're very excited and much less stressed, this time around. We're thinking it should be about 12 - 18 months before we travel/receive a referral but once again, this is all God's timing, so who knows....
We have finished all of our homestudy paperwork (in record time...) and are just about done with our end of our dossier (also lickety-split...). We are awaiting our fingerprint appointment from the Department of Homeland Security so we can get cleared for another orphan-citizen and then everything goes to be translated, sent and then registered in St. Petersburg. After all of this, the llllloooooonnnnnggggg wait for a referral begins, but we aren't concerned about it at all. This time around, we have our little Jax to keep us busy and remind us of just how worth-the-wait he was and his soon-to-be little brother will be, too.
So, right off the bat, I will put out the first PRAYER REQUEST for Wild Baby #2.......let's all pray for his health, either in utero at this moment, or already born.....and the health of his birth mother, both physically and mentally as she prepares to let go of her most precious gift.
I've attached some pictures from the very first day we met Jax....November 1, 2005. What a day - it really reminds me of the beauty of adoption. God is so awesome....

Lord - The Wild's are bringing another son home from Russia and we rejoice in the decision to expand their family. I thank you that you guided Jaxon's coming home, and at each step you paved the way. I ask that the birth mother of this new child values the life she carries and is getting the medical care she needs so that this child is healthy, so that she is healthy and has a problem free pregnancy. Father bless this woman for the decision she has made to let go of her child, give her comfort and knowledge how loved she is by you. Lord remove any anxiety that she may carry that she is abandoning her child. Father just as her child will be loved and treasured by Darren and Shawn have her look to you and see that you love and treasure her. Father this is a long journey give Darren and Shawn reassurance and your strength as they travel back to Russia, give them security in you so that they can go through the next months without the burden of stress and strife. Lord thank you for the blessing that Jaxon has been, thank you for his health, thank you for the joy that he has brought, and the depth of emotions that he brings to his parents. Father thank you for interceding in our lives, we praise you for the love you give us. In Jesus name, Amen.
