The one with the fake mommy blogger.

I solemnly swear that I am a mom of two little girls. Trust me, ok? And now go read this bit of news about a blogger mom who faked her babys death (are you sitting down for this?) to get hits in her blog!

Twenty-six-year-old Beccah Beushausen had captivated readers with her story of a single mother facing a difficult pregnancy. Her blog, Little One April, drew thousands of readers, who offered prayers and support and help. On June 7, when she posted about her baby's birth and subsequent death hours later, her site had nearly a million hits.

But when Beushausen posted a photo of Baby April, readers got suspicious -- the baby wasn't a baby at all, but a Reborn doll, a baby doll made to look exactly like a newborn. And that's when Beushausen's story began to unravel.

Read Beccahs apology here: http://littleoneapril.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-am-sorry_14.html

I dont know whether to feel sorry for her or angry. But the tonnes of people who followed her blog - how betrayed they must feel! No one likes to be screwed, especially emotionally! What is this world coming to, huh? Above is a picture of a similar Reborn doll like the one Beccah used in her blog. Can someone get it for me, pretty please? I would like to shock my mom the next time she visits me! ;)

I dont know why, but I truly feel sympathatic for her. My wild guess is that she either aborted after knowing she is carrying a trisomy child and has somehow wanted to think otherwise to console herself.
An abortion because of a trisomy is a very challenging topic and in a christian world where it is equivalent to murder I dont know how far emotionally challenged this woman could have been.

I am only guessing,... I still feel sad more than mad!

It looks like she is healed because there is plenty of clarity in the sorry part of the blog!

either ... should follow with "or"!!! :)
Or somebody very close to her had a trisomy baby or aborted one at a late stage?!!! ...
I personally believe there is no god damn way a single woman who has never been pregnant can fake realistically a pregnancy! Atleast somebody very very close to her should have been pregnant and she is very connected to that person!

I think "writing" isnt easy, it definitely needs "experience" - especially to have written so well captivatingly!

Again guessing wildly - could be bullseye wrong as I am many times!!! :)

To be a upright benign being is to have a amiable of openness to the world, an ability to trust aleatory things beyond your own restrain, that can front you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly important relating to the fettle of the principled life: that it is based on a corporation in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a treasure, something fairly dainty, but whose mere particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
