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.

A Visit With Dr. Rob




Today, Emmaline had her first appointment with Dr. Rob. She is a healthy baby girl, but we already knew that! She is in the 49th percentile on weight, 63th in height, and 92th in head size on American charts! Although you can't tell from these pictures, it's been a little rough for Emmaline (as well as mom and dad) since arriving home. We are both jet-lagged, and Emma has her days and nights mixed up. She wants to sleep all day and play all night.....kinda like Aunt Party. Also, she is terrified to be alone. It was never an issue in China because we were always in the same room. As soon as she realizes she's alone in her crib, she cries out for us. She has never been by herself, so this is going to be quite a hurdle for her to cross. Hopefully, this will pass quickly.
