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.

Happy 1 Month Home Emmaline!!





It is so hard to believe we have been home a month with Emmaline. We cannot imagine what life was like before her and we are so thankful God placed this little angel in our family. Jacob continues to be a terrific big brother to the kids and Emmaline and Jackson have an amazing role model to look up to with their big brother. He is kind, patient and so giving with his siblings. We are truly blessed! Jackson is adjusting wonderfully and continues to be such a big helper! We were so worried he would be jealous and that has simply not been the case. Dewey our dog, on the other hand, wishes he could find peace and quiet again, which is not likely to happen any time soon. He hides from all of us except Daddy as much as he can unless someone is dropping food on the floor! Bob and I feel we have the perfect family and just enjoy our time we have together!

Today the photo is of Emmaline's CRAZY hair. It is growning so much and we kind of have a mohawk going on today. Enjoy!

Congratulations on 1 month with Emma!
I am so happy for all of you and you are so deserving of these great things! What a wonderful, loving family. I think it's so awesome that Jacob and Jackson are adjusting so well; the situation just couldn't be any better and I can't think of nicer people for these blessings to happen to. I will keep you all in my prayers that things continue to go so well. Trish, we need to set a lunch date!
God bless all of you.
