FRANK AND REGINA'S JOURNEY INTO PARENTHOOD THROUGH ADOPTION
This site chronicles our experience of adopting a child from Aqtobe, Kazakhstan. We never thought we would want children, but we've learned to never say never! To start at the beginning click on "May 2007" in the blog archive and scroll to the bottom. Our two trips occurred in May and July 2008. We live in Charleston, SC, and can be contacted at regina(at)ruopoli.com. Enjoy!

what a doll! He is just a trip. Love you guys and glad you're all so happy!
What a cute lil tushy! You are really brave letting him run around with no diaper like that! I worry about puddles or worse just taking Miras to and from the bath and changing table!
Pure unadulterated joy - how beautiful!

So happy to read Milo had surgery and everything well. I postponed Gabi`s surgery bcs I did not want him to go through an other stressful situation right after he came home (he is a little older and this makes things little different). Milo looks great and I love the last pictures :)
That sure puts a smile on your face!! Thanks for sharing, he is a crack up! So cute! Gena
oh my gosh does he have acute lil buns. SO FUNNY!
and, i LOVE YOUR HOUSE TOO!
he is really sweet Regina. I cannot wait until Leeza can run around naked in her princess boots. LOL
well, not like she has boots yet but i'll get her some.
he is SO ADORABle!
Freaking adorable, as usual! We miss him and need another visit ASAP!
Extremely cute and very much future blackmail photos! I'm just checking in when I'm supposed to be preparing for our travel. We leave Friday :)
I can't wait to show Pat these photos!!
