We had some paperwork problems, so Sarah couldn't leave the country with us in late March, and I went back to Moscow to get her in May. Sarah arrived in Bellville on May 13, 2001 (Mother's Day). Ken and Faith met us at the airport. What a great Mother Day present!

A year ago today, I did not know your name.
A year ago today, while I knew you were out there, I had never seen your face, smelled your hair, or heard your laughter. I missed so much of your life. I'm sorry.
A year ago today, I didn't even know when you had been born or where you lived.
A year ago today, you didn't know you had a mom, dad and sister searching for you.
Today, we celebrate your birthday.
Today, you marvel at the sweetness of cake.
Today, you ask again and again if the toy is really yours.
Today, I promise I will not miss anymore birthdays.
Today, you have a mom, dad and sister who love you very much.
Happy Birthday, Sarah
