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.

Home for Christmas???????

Probably not, but we're hoping. We have returned our paperwork "accepting" Emmaline, which initiates the start of our travel arrangements. The length of time between referral and travel has been six to eight weeks, but we're hoping it will be sooner since we are in a small travel group. The most likely scenario has us traveling to China right after Christmas. What a way to ring in 2008!!

As a mother of a daughter from Hunan, China... I just wanted to post a reassurance that the wait you have experienced will diminish the moment you hold your baby girl. We've had our daughter for 18 months now and each day, literally, has been a joy.

Best of wishes!
