Eighteen years ago today, I cut the cord of a 6lb baby girl. I celebrated and wept with her birth-mother as we gazed into her sweet stork-kissed face. She was going to be adopted...my moments with her, I thought, brief. But God was writing a different ending to the first chapter of this baby girl's life. And no more than 96 hours later, this baby girl became Anna Marie Ruch--my daughter. Happy Birthday, Anna!!! It is a joy to be your mother. :)
