I am thinking about my little girl, Sophia.  I love her so much.  I am asked often when did I meet her?  I haven't met her.  I knew from a picture the she was mine.  I am meant to be her mommy.  I am working as hard as I can to get over the biggest hurdle to become her mommy...money.  Money is what stops a lot of families from even considering adopting.  I didn't let the fear of what if...I can't come up with the money, what if I'm nuts for even attempting to become a mommy without a large savings in the bank, without having a husband to help and support me through this journey.  I prayed, believed, and had faith I was on the path that God wanted me on.  I jumped in with both feet.  Everything seemed to fall into place.  I was on the journey to the child of my heart.  As of right now I'm scared the paper trail that comes with a "Paper pregnancy" (adoption) is moving right along which is awesome and so very exciting but the money isn't following suit.  I am doing everything I can do to raise those funds to put my money into her fund.  I know God is on this journey with me to another child of His.  I am asking for all of your help.  Please if you can donate anything either through a fundraiser (I am a Mary Kay consultant, I will be holding another QuarterMania very soon, I am hoping to host an on line auction etc) or by giving a tax deductible donation 
www. reecesrainbow.org/sponsormeier  Sophia and I would be forever grateful.  I have made many new friends on this journey to Sophia.  I haven't even met most of them yet I feel their love and concern for me and for Sophia. 

Sophia I am coming...

  1. I know how you feel...it's such a strong sense of helplessness for me to think about the total amount of money needed! Someone told me "God's will, God's bill - he will provide". I think of that when I start to doubt.

    Praying for you and your little girl.

  2. I came across your post and think that it just awesome that you are going to adopt. I have really been thinking about it. I am a single parent with a 15 month old but I can't seem to stop looking at reeces rainbow. I have donated to a few children on the site. Im just wondering how it is going for you.... Id love to hear your first hand experiences so far :)
