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.

Emmaline's Church Dedication





We were unable to take photos during the dedication ceremony today, but here are a few we took before and after the service. During the dedication ceremony we promised to raise Emmaline with a strong spiritual foundation. As Emmaline's parents, Bob and I stood before the church congregation to introduce our precious Emmaline . We then, in commitment, stood before God to offer our lives to rear Emmaline in HIS ways. We realize this task is an awesome responsibility ,and we pray our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will continue to bless our family and guide us in parenting these wonderful children.
"Teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
