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.

Wonderful visit with the Rafferty's!!!






We were thrilled to be able to meet the Rafferty family for dinner this evening. We traveled to China with them to adopt our daughters. They were in town for a little family getaway to attend a concert and visit the children's museum. It was so nice of them to extend their stay in order to meet us for dinner! We were thrilled to see how wonderfully Lindy is adjusting to life with her amazing family. She has only been home for a short time and already has a tremendous grasp of the English language. She knows her ABC's and Twinkle twinkle little star. She understands everything you say to her now. I am in complete awe! This little 3 year old came home January 2008 and already understands so much English and speaks so well! She would not really let anyone hold her in China except for Sherry and David, but tonight during our dinner she let me hold her and hug her often :-) Her sister Molly was a complete joy as well and they are so much fun to watch interact. It was a terrific evening!!
