It is sad, Brandy. People lie about everything, and being on line I guess makes it easier. OK, that was a huge generalization, let me rephrase by saying SOME PEOPLE lie about everything.
I have run across in other forums people who lie about being an adoptive parent who is struggling big time with one thing or another. People who lie about placing a child, people who lie about being adopted.
It happens with all members of the triad and I can't fathom why. Do they have nothing better to do? Do they need so much attention that they are willing to string thousands of people along their lies?
