New Macbook = No Firewire? HELP!?

I bought the 13" Macbook around 1 1/2 years ago without noticing the lack of a firewire port. I then bought Final Cut Express and installed it on my Macbook. Recently, I just went a bought a Canon GL2 camcorder off of eBay to help me with my business. This camcorder needs to be connected via firewire to transfer video to the computer. With no Apple adapter available I bought this adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NZI48W) from Amazon to see if it would work, and it didn't. Any ideas?
