This a terrible thing to have happen. I just wanted to let you know, your girl inspired me. I have always wanted to work with children and I wanted to help them medically. (I follow many kids blogs with different challenges, to increase my awareness of different ailments) I had come to the conclusion I wanted to research medicine for children, however recently decided that wasn't the true calling for me. I happened upon your site and it hit me... I would love to be a pediatric physical therapist. So, I am now pursuing that road and hope one day to make a difference for at least one child. Oh and laelie is adorable to boot!! -Desiree Hello,

Someone must have to be in extremely bad shape to pick an obscure website, and use one of the most disconnected forms of communication, only to derive compassion out of a concerned individual. Your reaction is totally understandable. I guess these people also need to have some prayer put on them. As counterintuitive as that seems. Hope you guys are doing Ok in spite. I've also been missing Laelie's laugh videos! Praying for you three (too). -Joel K That’s just un-real.

At least my person just wanted to mess with me; they didn't want to kill me, steal from me or worse. And I am glad for the many friends who email me online! I hope you don't all think I am now suspicious of you now! The people emailing me (although I didn't put a ton of details in my blog) were distinctive enough to avoid. :) Since my experience I’ve heard worse stories than mine.

(And although I don't comment often, I do read your blog and I had noticed there had been no recent posts.) I'm sorry you had to go through all of that--as if you haven't had enough things to deal already! But it also sounds like you were able to figure out the truth eventually and are dealing with the person/persons in an effective way. I especially thought your photo idea was great to make sure you have a better idea who you are talking to. You don't need to feel dumb on my account--you've dealt with it well. I've recently started collecting photos of myself with people whom I originally met online. It is actually quite a few people! I hope you and Laelia will be among them sometime soon. I'm so happy to hear of Laelia's progress. The little videos of her laughing make me laugh too. God bless--Thainamu, aka "Aunt Linda" and I hope Charley will still vouch for me!!

I also got sucked into a relationship with someone who wasn't who they said they were. I felt D-U-M-B... Safety nets are a good idea! I look forward to seeing your precious daughter in action again very soon!! Ummmm…Count me in as one of the foolish ones.
