A Little About Us
Hi there. We are the Millilo family, Robert, Karrie, Steven, Andrew and Evan. We adopted our first son, Andrew from Ukraine back in 2005 at the age of 18 months old. Then God laid on our hearts to go back to Ukraine and adopt 2 more children. That is when we adopted Steven and Evan and came home with all of them on Christmas morning of 2008. They are a dream come true for us and a true gift from God. We adopted them independently with the help from http://www.ukrainianangels.org/ .
Feel free to email us at rakmillilo@comcast.net with any questions you might have in adopting from Ukriane.

Hi Karrie and Robert, What a neat way to keep a record of this preparation time!
Wonder how the attic's coming along?
I'm in agreement that the paperwork is done correctly and SOON in Jesus' Name!
Kathy
Thanks, Kathy. This blog will eventually turn into part of our children's lifebook. It's also to help us stay in touch with everyone while we are in Ukraine.
Thanks for being in agreement with us regarding our paperwork. God has already move on our behalf with some of it. Still waiting on our doctors forms and license. It's in His hands...therefore they are completed as well. in Jesus name.
I am so happy for you both. You are going to be wonderful parents. Now you can be tired all the time like the rest of us. Welcome to Motherhood & Fatherhood, there is nothing else like it in the world! God Bless you all.
Love,
Paul, Joan & Kyle Resnick
