It's official. Valera is now a Miller. We gave him the option of changing his name but he chose to keep "Valera". We chose "James" as his middle name, in honor of my dad - who is sacrificing a lot to welcome Valera into our family. So here he is...
Valera James Miller
On our 40th day here in Ukraine, we certainly have a lot to celebrate! Den said to me, "My Congratulations to you. Easier than a regular delivery".
I beg to differ my friend! :)
Praises to the Lord for such a great day. We arrived at the birth certification center at noon, as they were about to go on lunch. They took us anyway. We arrived at the center to get his "Id number" (like a social security number) 8 minutes after they closed. They are closed for some reason tomorrow so I was discouraged. Anya worked some magic - actually, the Lord worked a blessing via Anya, and we were able to get Valera's ID number.
Praising the Lord for a great day!

congrats Miller family - it's official! Wow are we excited! Lisa, I prayed for you, your dad, and Valera the whole way home today. It felt so good just going to God about all of you. He is SO GOOD and is always interested in the good that will come out of this time. What a blessing that the final paperwork is coming together. Does this mean you can come home a little bit early?
