Pay it forward.....
Throughout Mia's journey I often talked of the Red Threads that were woven through our lives to lead us to Mia and we have continued to love seeing those threads weave from Mia to others.
Mia continues to change lives....
We are SUPER excited to announce that some of our dear friends, the Lutkin family, have just committed to a cute little angel named Susan on Reece's Rainbow!!!!!
We could not be more excited for them! Not only will Mia and Susan both now get to grow up with families, but they will get to do that in the same neighborhood!
How cool is that?! Susan will also be the same age as my twins so they will get to be her friends!
Jodi, Susan's soon to be mama, said "Mia's miracle is what planted the seed that lead us to Susan"
so what better way to celebrate Mia's homecoming anniversary than paying it forward to Susan.
We will be kicking off an iPad giveaway for the Lutkins and Susan that will be running for the next month.
For every $10 donation to Susan and the Lutkin family, you will get you an entry into the giveaway to win the newest edition of the ipad with wifi-16GB. You can also receive an additional entry by sharing this giveaway on Facebook or blogs...just leave a comment saying you did so.
The Ipad giveaway will end the night of our celebration for Mia on June 16th (although you do not have to be present that night to win).
To enter the giveaway you can donate through the "Chip In" account we have set up on the side of my blog, or go directly to the Lutkin's donation page on the Reece's Rainbow's website (click here), for a tax deductible donation.

We had been talking for some time about how we wanted to make Mia's anniversary of coming home an annual "pay it forward" and celebration. While celebrating Mia's homecoming, we wanted to also help another child find a home. We had no idea that we would be able to do this for our dear friends!!
We would like to invite anyone who followed Mia's journey and/or loves Mia now, to come celebrate with us and Mia at "Mia's Miracle Continues" on June 16th...to mark the year anniversary of her coming HOME!
So MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW FOR JUNE 16th!!
We will have music, food, and fun! (location and more details to be announced)
We will also have a silent auction/raffle to benefit Susan, so if you want to donate any items let me know.
We will be honoring Mia by paying it forward to help another angel come home and find the happiness of a family that Mia has found.

Kecia, my heart is so full today as I read this post. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done and are continuing to do. We love you guys! Thanks so much!
awesome it just takes a little seed to be planted. How fun to have them in your neighborhood growing up together:)
I've told you before but I have to say it again. There is a little girl in Russia named Victoria that has a family coming for her because of Mia and your story, thanks so much for keeping such a wonderful blog and doing the news story!
We have had a lot going on over here in Boise all because if Mia. My friend Aubrey gave birth to a little girl with DS and I told her about you and Reeces Rainbow. She has spread the word to two more families who have been fundraising LIKE CRAZY for kids on RR. We are talkin tens of THOUSANDS of dollars for kids! Its amazing. And you guys are amazing for opening this door for so many other families!
I am so thankful that little Susan will soon have her forever family to call her own! Ill donate something fun for the silent auction so keep me posted!
Wish I was there to celebrate on the 16th!

So sweet Kecia! What a wonderful blessing and new adventure for your friends too!
Wish I could do more....I don't know why these stories always make me burst into tears. Praying they are successful in raising the money for this sweet baby to be brought home.

Just made a donation and and am going to post this on my FB page now. So sweet to see you guys paying it forwards, you still remain an inspiration to me!
I know it's not much as we are scrimping and saving for our adoption, but we just made a small contribution to the fund. Congratulations to Susan's new family! Watching Mia's adoption unfold was one of the things that really cemented the idea of our own family adopting and I wish I could give so much more!
Just posted on my facebook page. I hope it helps. You guys really are amazing!
We donated and posted it on my Facebook page. This is such a great thing that you are doing!
