McClellan, Milla

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Milla (Ludmilla) is a blonde-haired Russian orphan adopted by Eve McClellan and John McClellan. She was born around July 1999.

Eve and John initially planned to adopt only a boy, Sergei McClellan, but when they arrived in the Russian orphanage, they saw a little girl with a captivating smile, in the next bed. Milla's adoption by another family just fell through, and the McClellans quickly decided to add Milla.

There were complications with the paperwork in both Russia and US, but with John's ability to speak some Russian, a few bribes, and intense help from Shae Kirkendahl in the US, they were able to bring both children with them back to US.^HS33
