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.

Medical Exam





Today, Emmaline had her medical exam, which she passed with flying colors. She weighed in at a whopping 21.3 lbs (the most of all the babies in our group). For the most part, we spent the day walking around the island shopping at the various little stores. It was nice to see the other cities in China, but in hindsight, this is the place to be. This city of 9 million seems cozy after Beijing and Chongqing. We saw the sun for the first time in a week, and the 70 degree temperature made for excellent strolling weather. It's just beautiful here. In the afternoon, we went over to the mainland part of the city and shopped at the pearl market, and then to the jade market.

Only a few more days......
