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.

To Swim or not to swim!?!





Yesterday Catherine, our FTIA guide, had to go to the notary and get our paperwork together for Emmaline's passport, so we had quite a bit of free time while we waited to review the paperwork. We decided to take the girls swimming with another FTIA family. We arrived at the pool and the workers had no idea why we were there. Talk about language barrier! By the time they figured out what we wanted, we got settled and realized the pool was ice cold and under construction. Needless to say we did not go swimming, but still managed to get some photos of Emmaline in her suit to share! The other photo is Emmaline with her other little friend Riley having a playdate. Today we head to an area in Chongqing called China Town for more touring. We'll post again after the tour.
