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.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......."

We have received tentative travel dates from our agency. We will be leaving for China on December 19, 2007. We will fly into Beijing where we will spend a few days before flying to Chongqing on Christmas Eve to get the best Christmas present ever! We are so sad about leaving our family during the holidays, but so happy that Emmaline will not spend her first X-mas in an orphanage. We should receive official notice from our agency in the next day or two, but it is not likely the dates will change more than a day or two either way.

I can already taste the Christmas duck!
