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 Guys!

Dear MIllio's,
We are so excited for your new baby boy. After keeping up with your story my husband and I have decided it is OK to come home with one healthy happy little one. We leave Aug. 26th and were requesting 2 under age four as you did, but now have decided to limit our time looking for that age and come home with a little one. Thanks for your story. It has helped us have peace and wait on God's will for us. I know he already has chosen for us!
Blessings!
Alexandra and MIke Shadroui
He is goregous - come home soon so we can spoil him !!! Maria Clare and Julia are looking forward to playing with Andrew, Love Uncle Rich and Aunt Maria
