The Gift of You

I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so.
For us to have each other is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you.

About Us

About Us
Hello! We are Bob and Trish Akers from Indiana. We are in the process of adopting a daughter, Emmaline Catherine, from China. We have a log in date of December 8, 2005, and are hoping to get our "referral" in November 2007. It's been a long journey, but we are so excited to be this close! ****************************************************************** Update: We have obviously adopted our daughter, so this is now the Akers Family website. We will periodically be posting pictures of our family and newest adventures.

Jackson's first playdate with HIS friend

We had Jackson's little friend over today. It was so cute! He has had several times where our friends have brought their kids over and he has had a great time. But this was his best friend from pre-school who came over to play for 4 hours. It was so cute and we hope this will be the start of many future playdates for the boys.


Happy Birthday Ringo!!!!




Ringo turns one today. To celebrate, we went to Three Dog Bakery and got him a birthday cupcake. As you can see, he gulped it down in one bite. We also got him an indestructible chew toy....we'll see.
