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.

Christmas Eve





We had a Christmas Eve celebration tonight with all the families, including a new family we met (not from our agency). We did a secret Santa gift exchange, which was really fun because it was the first X-mas our Chinese guide has ever had. Of course, Party Central was in our room. The hotel staff surprised us with a visit from Santa. They brought us gifts for the babies, flowers, and a big basket of fruit. We had a wonderful dinner at a french/Italian restaurant, which was a nice change of pace. Mom's in her kerchief and I in my cap, we're all settling down for a long winters nap. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
