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.

Feeling Better





Feeling no effects of the water incident. I think the antibiotics helped defeat anything before it started. I learned my lesson on that one. We made it through Day 3 and Emmaline still seems to love us still. She has made significant strides in the few days she's been with us....she is sitting up by herself and can stand while holding the bed. Her tongue has improved and is not sticking out as often. For the most part, she continues to be a very happy baby. Although we may have spoiled her because whenever she is not the center of attention, she gets fussy. I can't imagine where she gets that ;-)
