He has been a dear friend...and we knew that he was innocent.

With tears of joy, we shared the news and even thought of a name for her.

It's a reminder of a big, hateful lie.

We didn't think someone could be capable of such a despicable act. She is a predator who knew exactly what she was doing, who took money from desperate people.

Because she had our money, we felt trapped.

I was absolutely devastated. I had grown to love this child in my heart only to learn she didn't even exist.
