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
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.

We're in Guangzhou Safe and Sound





We are here and very tired, but Emmaline did an amazing job on her first flight. The only cry we heard was when we were landing. She pulled her ears, so we assume they were hurting. Here are a few more photos of Emmaline in her Christmas outfit . We have her medical exam tomorrow at 10 a.m. and then we will tour the city. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas. I know you said you were not able to view these, but I was hoping you would see them later when you could log on and know that we are always thinking of you. I still can't get over what a doll baby she is. I love her little, I mean BIG, smile, she always makes me smile back. What a punkin:)

Merry Christmas -- its Buggy Adrienne writing from Los Angeles. I heard about Emma and the blog so I immediately logged on and read the entire thing. The video Jacob and Bob made brought me to tears and the photos of you with Emma did the same. Trishy, I can see the joy in your beautiful eyes and want you to know how incredibly happy I am for you, Bob, and the boys! She is absolutely precious and her smiles just melt my heart. Have a safe flight back! Love you Buggy!
