Dear Friends~

It saddens me beyond words to inform you, the Little April Rose blog was a scam. The baby is not real, the parents are not real and Kelli (who posted updates on their blog, my name is Cindy) is either not real, or in on the whole thing. All of us in the blog world who invested countless months, hours and some sent gifts of items and money...are all truly broken today. The one thing we are thankful for though, this situation brought many people together, who may have not met, if not for the April Rose blog. We've learned to pray for one another in times of need, or even just because. I want to thank each of you for your prayers, thoughts and being with me through this journey.

I will be back...as a child advocate, there's endless little ones in need of prayer and candles. I may just begin a thread for all the little children I have 'met' and continue to 'meet.'

God belss each and everyone of you!

Dear Ciindy,
 
Thank you for sharing with us this troubling information. It is so very sad when people abuse the internet in such ways. The unfortunate result may be that genuine blogs may be met with suspicion, and support is not given where it is really needed.
 
Thank you for being such a loving, caring person!
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Cindy
 
I am very sorry that such evil evil 'people' can do such a thing.
 
My own precious child had an illness just like this little one was suppose to have.
 
It really hurt me to think another family had to suffer what I  and others went through.
 
I did wonder why the child was born at home when they knew just how sick she was.
 
Things did not add up but like you I felt compassion and heartache for this family.
 
God help those sick individuals I just pray in my heart and soul they never feel the
 
pain I felt when I was told my precious child had hours to live.
 
You are a kind and gentle soul and my heart goes out to you and all of those people
 
who are effected by this.
 
 
 
Jesus give me strength and understanding  to see why things like this happen.
 
Take care of yourself,Sandra xx

The real 'fool' in all of this
is the poor, misguided soul
who thought that this would be a fun thing to do . . .
for all of us who were 'fooled'
it was an exercise in love and compassion
that reaches beyond tomfoolery.
 
Somewhere
someone is going through this very thing right now,
as others have gone through it before.
Perhaps little April Rose is a symbol
of the power of love
in spite of the trick.

My heart is so broken. I can't believe that someone could make up something like this. The pain that we all feel who have lost a baby/child is so hard to cope with and deal with. I just can't imagine making something like this up to get attention. Although, it did bring lots of people together for prayer and etc. It just saddens me that people do this for attention when they could get attention in other ways. Maybe we ought to pray and keep in out thought the people who make thes stories up. You  and I all know that there are so many people going through this for real and the pain that they are feeling, I can't even begin to imagine. Sandra,. my heart goes out to you and so many others who have had to deal with the heartache and grief like this. I know what it feels to lose 3 babies to miscarriage but having your baby and then being told that your baby is not compatible to like has to be like a dagger in your heart. I will still light a candle for te ones who are really going through their babies nopt being compatable to life "for real". Love ALways, Joya

cindy,
I am glad that your wonderful heart is not going to be deterred by this.  I used to help abused people online and by phone.  I spent countless hours trying to help a 13 girl.  Surely more than a hundred.  I was also making countless calls trying to find her in the system in her home town in NJ.  Trying to find the correct people to help this child.  To no avail.   Finally, I had no choice, I could not wait any longer, I called the police.  They went to rescue her and found someone who was 19 years old........ it was the girl.  safe. not being abused.   She spent countless hours every day and  night lying to me.  Keeping me hooked in.  On the phone and online.   I felt profoundly violated when the police found what they did .   And I did forever lose some innocence and trust regarding helping people that went to that website.  Of course I still help people. 
 
I like your attitude.  You will not stop being an advocate for chidlren.  The people who perpetrated this abhorant scheme will not get away free.  what we sow we do reap. I believe this fully and totally.  I am glad you are able to find the silver lining in this experience.  And I am glad you found the gratefulness familyhood.  Sending love, liliwings.

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.
