How you expressed yourself was very gracious, very non judgemental, yet, you have every right to protect yourself, your family, and yes your business. Nobody has the right to criticize you.<br />Take care<br />MaireMairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018934862739637076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-51030529708610877792009-06-08T23:53:27.438-05:002009-06-08T23:53:27.438-05:00I think you have handled yourself very professiona...I think you have handled yourself very professionally and I would refer people to your business because you are obviously ethical and honest!<br /><br />Kaira, I have something to ask you. Since "B" said that "April" had holoprosencephaly, a condition DEFINED by facial abnormalities, how is it possible that the pictures she posted showed a baby who did not have even the most mild facial defect associated with Lobar Holoprosencephaly (the kind "B" said "April" had) ~ a midline cleft lip?<br /><br />Look up the condition yourself if you think I'm wrong. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/holoprosencephaly/holoprosencephaly.htm<br /><br />At the VERY LEAST, that baby should have had a cleft lip. The pictures showed a baby (doll) who did not. <br /><br />I realize that some Trisomy 13 babies do not have facial abnormalities, but the HPE is a condition that is, as I said, DEFINED by facial defects. <br /><br />The fact that the pictures were taken down right after someone mentioned that they were pictures of a reborn doll is suspect. The fact that the entire history of the blog was deleted is suspect. First of all, if the parents are so involved in spending time with their dying baby, why would they be blogging, reading emails & the like? Second, if there really was a baby who was dying, why would the parents delete the blog that chronicled her life/time in-utero?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-54157318289949697662009-06-08T21:43:28.733-05:002009-06-08T21:43:28.733-05:00Amber,

She just seems a little miserable and jealous of your success, so she's pursuing to sabotage it. You now have more followers than before, so don't think that any one person can break away the THOUSANDS of your loyal customers. <br /><br /> Jealousy is an evil root (comes with success, they are called H-A-T-E-R-S) and her comments were distasteful. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the great work and remember what doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger. <br />Hugs and Kisses! <br />Loyal Customer No. 2 million.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-89175126948596196262009-06-08T19:53:41.184-05:002009-06-08T19:53:41.184-05:00Amber,

Your words were carefully chosen and not once did you say anything BAD about this mother B. You just said you were no longer comfortable advertising on their site. <br /><br />Question for Kaira.....if they were indeed so busy "getting to know their child" as you say, how could "D" even take that precious time to send out and update? And who took that precious time to suddenly delete the whole site the moment they started having people ask them questions?<br /><br />Things that make you go hmmmmmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-17034059464947160432009-06-08T18:57:22.664-05:002009-06-08T18:57:22.664-05:00Kaira, I do understand where you are coming from, ...Kaira, I do understand where you are coming from, but I did want to make sure you know that I only used the name that she used on her blog. I would never disclose any private information. I have never had contact with anyone other than Kelli, so don't know any more about these women than anyone else. Her friends refer to her as B, but when I first read the blog, she had her name listed as Rebecca. I don't know any more than that. I do think that these women probably have more important things than me to deal with today, which is why I will not pass judgment. I have not requested the return of any funds, only the ability to step away from the situation, as B has done herself. I hope you understand.Amber @ RuffleButtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419058172329594196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-3020857803434108802009-06-08T18:43:49.335-05:002009-06-08T18:43:49.335-05:00what are you saying?
