After many hours chatting with Courtney on other boards and reading all the stories posted by everyone I just pray that she gets the help and attention that she is crying for inside. My heart breaks for her and I'm so sorry so many people got hurt in all of this. I just hope that Courtney fills the loneliness and pain she has and one day finds the love she is looking so hard for.

My heart goes out to her to. I think adoptive parents need to make sure that they are approaching adoption ethically. I have read a lot of adoptive parents complaining about being scammed but were not following up with ethical behavior themselves. I think both birth and adoptive parents need to proceed slowly and confirm who each are through the right sources. ALso a birthparent needs to be able to talk to adoptive couples without couples claiming they are matched. They want to be sure of who they would like to raise their child. Then both sides need to be honest, candid, and ethical. If Courtney was scamming people they would have been protected by proceeding a little slower and verifying things. Obviously she was not doing this for money so I pray that she finds the emotional support she needs.

My advice to the prospective aparents who wanted her baby: move on. We all know she was not pregnant. We don't know why she did this, and we probably never will. So move on. The only thing that comes from constantly posting angry things about Courtney is more anger and bitterness. It's not going to get you a baby any faster.
