Ana Raquel was not quite 2 the night she arrived in Salt Lake City from El Salvador and was adopted by a Utah family.
Older sister Crystal Montes was adopted that night -- Sept. 27, 1985 -- by another Utah family. A video taken by Montes' adoptive family at the airport shows both girls.
Montes, who was 8 when adopted, has already been reunited with sisters Leticia Walter Morgan and Patty Oborn. Both Morgan and Oborn were also adopted to Utah families a few months apart.
The three women now hope the Internet will help them find Ana.
"Not one day has gone by when I haven't thought of her," said Montes, who said she often cared for her sister during their birth mother's frequent absences. "I was more or less their mother. I looked at Ana as my own child."
Montes, now 31, has posted the video clip on YouTube and at findinganaraquel.blogspot.com.
Montes says she hopes someone will recognize the dark-haired woman seen holding Ana in the video, or the blond-haired boy seen standing next to her.
"It's like there's a missing piece in our puzzle that's keeping our family from fitting together," Morgan said.
The Youtube is the link below the clip pic of the people they are trying to recognize is at 2 min 35 sec!
